Here's a part of an rsync log: The main lines are, where rsync gets an timeout, and tries again, and says: >>> cancelling sync because this server timestamp is the same as local timestamp The problem is, that the rsync hasn't completely finished, but the timestamp has already been updated. Maybe, this bug is invalid, because it isn't a real bug, I would call it "misbehaviour" ;-).
