Richard, rsync does an initial scan of the filesystems it's synchronizing, then actually goes through and transfers the files. Expect a warning if another process changes source or destination files in any way while rsync is running---and watch out for multiple rsyncs stepping on each other, especially if you're running it from a cron job; I usually write a wrapper script that gets a lock to ensure that only one backup job runs at a time.
If the files aren't changing at all, perhaps there is something funky going on with your NFS mount? I don't use OS X as an NFS client very much, so perhaps someone else could comment on that aspect. -- Aaron D.
