friend, who forwarded the message
with the title SOLVED, taught me also how to avoid this problem.
Basically, you will do:
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/your_volume
And you can put in /etc/crontab something like the following:
023**6root/usr/local/bin/psync -d
Joe asked,
As an aside, does anyone know how to turn spotlight off of a volume?
It immediately starts creating an index and it is causing my

System Preferences = Spotlight = Privacy
Just drag in what you don't want indexed.
