This means that rsync is trying to set the timestamp on the symlink to match the modify-time on the source symlink. The initial dot tells you that no "transfer" is happening (i.e. no change in symlink value). Some filesystems don't allow a symlink's mtime to be set, so rsync can keep trying to set the time and never be able to succeed. You may want to use this option: --omit-link-times (-J). ..wayne..
