No, what options are you using to rsync. I do a similar thing, but selectively 
to save bandwidth. I copy stuff with the -aSH options, for various things I keep 
copied. There is a CRC option, but you shouldn't need it.

You might look at ctime and mtime before and after, it is possible that what you 
are copying is actually getting a "touch" due to a script error at the source. 
Not the most likely thing, but I mention it because I mirror a site which does a 
copy of a tree without preserving mtime, and it behaves as if every file changes 
between 2-3am local time.
