Hi,
and what filesystem have your server???
maybe this parameter from man rsync helps you:
--modify-window
When comparing two timestamps, rsync treats the
timestamps as being equal if they differ by no more than the
modify-window value. This is normally 0 (for an exact match), but you
may find it useful to set this to a larger value in some situations.
In particular, when transferring to or from an MS Windows FAT
filesystem (which represents times with a 2-second resolution),
--modify-window=1 is useful (allowing times to differ by up to 1 second).
I saw the above behaviour backing up a NTFS filesystem too (instead of FAT)
so try adding the parameter with =1 or =2 solve your problem,
so I don't remember if the above behaviour is present when the two
machines have differents time (one of them don't have a ntp running or
it didn't work properly) (different timezone is fine but the time maybe
isn't accurate in his respective timezone)
