Rsync - Copying Every File Every Time

Hello all,

I am using rsync 2.6.3 on RH 9 Linux systems.  I think everytime I run the 
rsync command, all the files get transferred even if they haven't changed.

Rsync is running as a daemon on my server.  Below is the /etc/rsycnd.conf 
from my server:
[ftpscript]
   path=/home/gab/ftpscript
   comment=My FtpScript
   list=yes

On my client I use the following command:
/usr/local/bin/rsync --verbose --progress --stats --recursive --links 
--perms --compress 10.X.X.X::ftpscript/ /home/g/test

I pasted output of my rsync command below.   The FAQ mentioned people 
thinking files were transferred every time when in reality only permissions 
or group were being updated.  When I compare the files on my client & 
server, the permissions, owner & group are the same.

What am I missing?  Why is every file being transferred every time?

Thanks!
GJ
