Perhaps because the modify time of those directories changes. Adding a
--itemize-changes option should confirm that,

If you don't care about keeping thos modtime, try to add
--omit-dir-times to your call of rsync.

Hi Francis,

Thank you, it wasn't timestamps, but group id inconsistency (the source, in this case is a Windows box, ids are always tricky). You put me on the right track anyway, I had not realised how useful --itemize-changes can be. I must rewrite the group ID after transfer, because the destination gid (special group), is neither the source (users) nor the invoking id (root) and I see no option to rewrite it in rsync.

Merci beaucoup,

Robert
