This indicates that the file that was transferred was "TEST2", not
"file1".  Was that output from a different run?  Or do you have
something that is tweaking your command-line behind the scenes?

This tells you there was one file, 9 bytes long, but it was not
transferred, presumably because it was up-to-date.  The debug output for
such decisions occurs on the daemon when it is the receiver, so you'll
need to use a modern rsync on the daemon (e.g. 2.6.3) and specify
"max verbosity = 3" in the rsyncd.conf file, at which point you will
see a better description of what is happening in the server's log file
(if you run the client command with -vvv again).
