destination dir doubles in size

I am using Rsync to mirror my primary drive to a mounted second drive. I am 
using a crontab to control it:

30 3 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -rpogl /* /mnt/backup2/systemBackup/

The first run seems fine. But the subsequent running seems to double the 
original directory size. I notice this by running df -k. The destination 
size increases two fold, as if each time Rsync runs, it repeats itself, 
rather than skipping over unmodified files. Do i need to change a switch?  
FYI, i am running RH 7.1.

suggestions?

thanks in advance!
Ralph
