This was fixed in 2.6.6.  Before that, the 't' indicator was being
output for any diference in time values rather than honoring your
--modify-window=10 option (the time wasn't actually updated, rsync
was just mistaken in thinking that it was).  I would imagine that
you could decrease the --modify-window option down to 1 as well.
