Use -v for verbose output.

Use -n to tell rsync not to really do any file updates.  You can then
look at the output of the -v option and try to figure out why a file is
listed.  Hint:  rsync compares the file size and the timestamp by
default, so I would assume that one of those items is different on the
file(s) that it is wanting to update.
