I notice you're using the -a flag to rsync. This will attempt to
preserve ownership of files. If /home/mit/web on titan is not owned by
mit, this could be the cause of your problems.

According to the rysnc manpage the equivalent of -a is -rlptgoD, which
includes -o and -g to preserve user and group ownership. Try it with
-rlptD instead and then decide if you want to preserve ownership on
the files.
