I can't reproduce this problem.  When I try the same command (but with
different directories) over ssh, the files are hard linked correctly.

Rsync decides not to transfer a source file's data if the destination
file matches in size and modification time.  Is there something strange
about the filesystem on either end that could be preventing this match?
For example, FAT can only store modification times with even numbers of
seconds.
