HELP !!! Problem with file timestamps updating "weird" during rsync data pull

[Sean O'Neill]

Running rsync 2.3.1, 2.4.1, and 2.5.5 on Solaris 8 on various system.

I'm using rsync to pull data over for collecting performance data for 
graphing in Orca.  What I'm seeing is the timestamps from time to time of 
the data files is being setup "weird" on the system the data is being 
pulled to.

The timestamp should match that of the system the data is pulled from right 
?  Well, it doesn't from time to time.  The time stamp sometimes gets 
updated as just "Oct 16 2002"

I'm having problems with Orca dying for no good reason or it remaining 
running but it just stops graphing.

This timestamp thing is the closest thing I can find to a problem right now.

I'm calling rsync like this:

    SRC_DIR=${LOGIN}@${SRC}:/local/home/perfboy/orca/var/orca/orcallator/${HOSTNAME}/
    DST_DIR=/local/home/perfboy/orca/var/orca/orcallator/${HOSTNAME}

    rsync -a -q --delete -essh ${SRC_DIR} ${DST_DIR}

Any idea why rsync might be doing this ?
