If you are copying from a *nix filesystem to a Windows filesystem
(which is implied by your use of mountsmbfs) then the timestamps may
not be matching since Windows uses a 2-second granularity.
Try using the 'stat' command on a file in the source and destination:
stat "/music/Reggae/Damon Marly/01 - Confrontation.mp3"
stat "/musicbackup/Damon Marly/01 - Confrontation.mp3"
The "Modify" times should be the same, down to the second.
If they differ by one second, use --modify-window=1 and that will
allow rsync to match the timestamps.
(Wayne - the "copies every file" entry in the FAQ should also mention
this problem with Windows timestamps. Even though it may not be "every
file", it may seem like it...)
