Two same rsync commands give different results on two debian mirrors.

Hi all,

See the following commands:

___________________________

$ rsync -rmnv -f +_README -f -_* ftp.is.co.za::mirror/ftp.debian.org/
ftp.us.debian.org/debian

[snipped]

receiving file list ... done

sent 23 bytes  received 9 bytes  1.42 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)

$ rsync -rmnv -f +_README -f -_* ftp.cn.debian.org::debian

[snipped]

receiving file list ... done
drwxr-xr-x          4,096 2015/04/14 11:34:19 .
-rw-rw-r--          1,370 2015/01/10 18:21:28 README

sent 47 bytes  received 1,389 bytes  574.40 bytes/sec
total size is 1,370  speedup is 0.95 (DRY RUN)

Why the same rsync commands give different results on the above two debian 
mirrors?  The first one failed to find anything even the README exists, 
while the second one succeed for the job.

Any hints on this issue?
