rsync stoped syncing

Hi,

I want to keep the home-Directorys of 2 machines in sync.
Therefor I start rsync every hour with cron.
In the Beginning all worked fine, but now ...
I searched, but can't see the problem.

The home-directorys on the "master" change very often, but the
changes are no longer replicated to the "slave". Both run Linux and
rsync 2.5.5.
The master calls (the long line may be wrapped here)

rsync -auvxz --delete --exclude-from /root/.rsync/home-daily.exc /home
slave:/

once a hour and after building the filelist it says "home is uptodate".
But when I make a "ls -rtl" on both machines .. its definitly not.
master:
... (just the last few lines)

The date on both is the same. 

Any hints wants going wrong here ?

Thanks and kind regards,
