Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: normal
Today I found that rsync transfered the same (unchanged) file everytime I ran:
rsync -avHxP / remotehost:dir/. --del
Turned out that the source file had a very old timestamp:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 573153 Jan 1 1970 file
File: `/root/movies/SF-ebooks/Dragonlance/Dragonlance Preludes 1 vol 2 -
Kendermore.txt'
Size: 573153 Blocks: 1120 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: 802h/2050d Inode: 184913758 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Access: 2005-07-30 17:07:50.350691000 +0000
Modify: 1969-12-31 23:59:59.000000000 +0000

Fascinatingly enough, stat -c%Y says -1 seconds since the epoch.
The destination file has a very different timestamp:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 573153 Feb 7 2106 file
File: `Dragonlance/Dragonlance Preludes 1 vol 2 - Kendermore.txt'
Size: 573153 Blocks: 1121 IO Block: 131072 regular file

which likely is the reason it transfers the file again and again.
stat -c%Y says 4294967295 (0xffffffff, or less precisely, -1 & (2**32-1)).
the source system is 32 bit, while the remote system is 64 bit, btw.
