Probably need something like  (from man)
  --modify-window=NUM     compare mod-times with reduced accuracy

To store time-of-day in 16 bits, Windows can only handle even seconds.
(or is it odd?)  Maybe any choice is wrong ;)

  --modify-window=1 is probably adequate
personally, I' use something like 
  --modify-window=7
