Now that I look at some of the different rsync implementations I'm
doing, I notice that linux to linux rsyncs are logging only changed
files being transferred as you state above. However, my linux to samba
(local mount to W2K), are the ones that seem to be logging everything
regardless of change. The only difference in options is that the linux
to samba is not using the --archive switch because of change of owner
issues.

Should the rsync to samba being performing this way?

Thanks,
