The --link-dest check looks for identical files, so the files must be
unchanged in, by default, their size, mod-time, and permissions, OR,
when using --checksum, in their size, checksum, and permissions.  If you
don't see a reason for the files to be considered diferent, I'd suggest
asking about this on an Apple list, since you're using an rsync that is
modified by them.  The problem may be in how Apple computes the
resource-fork info or something like that.
