Shachar,
Ok, mystery solved. After the file is encrypted for the first time, my
script deletes the key file. When the file is encrypted a second time,
rsyncrypto creates a new key file, and also generates a completely new
encrypted output file (that is why rsync is fully transferring the file
again).
If the key file is not deleted, rsyncrypto delivers the same output file, so
rsync can use the rsync algorithm.
This leaves me here with one question. Is it possible to have the same
encrypted file without keeping the key file on my pc ?
Thanks for the replies.
Regards,
Jan

Julian,
Both scenario's you describe are the way rsync should behave, but it does
not. Let me just describe how case a can be reproduced.
Take a large zip file, my file is now 100MB, and encrypt it with rsyncrypto.
Now rename that file to 1.zip. Encrypt this file again and rename the
encrypted file to 2.zip. Both files should be the same (except the first
blocks), right ?
That really depends on whether you encrypted them using the same session
key.
Hope it is a bit more clear now.

Here is what I'm testing.
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/test bs=$((1024*1024)) count=100
Create a 100MB random file.
s...@sunlap:/tmp$ rsyncrypto test test1.enc test.key
/usr/share/doc/rsyncrypto/examples/tests/cert.crt
s...@sunlap:/tmp$ rsyncrypto test test2.enc test.key
/usr/share/doc/rsyncrypto/examples/tests/cert.crt
Create two files which are (almost) identical. vbindiff confirms this - the
two files have a different header, but several bytes into the file they
become identical and remain so until the end of the file.
If this is your situation, rsyncrypto is working as advertised. If rsync
does not do the expected thing with this case (for example, because it does
not apply the rsync algorithm to files that start off differently but become
identical in cases of partial transfers), then this is a rsync bug, and has
nothing to do with rsyncrypto.
