I would like to elaborate a bit on Paul's response:

The "T" means that the mtimes differ and you still aren't asking rsync
to preserve mtimes.  You need to pass -t/--times (or -a/--archive ,
which implies it).

Yes, but use "ls -l --time-style=+%s" to see the times in full precision
and rule out timezone issues.

That the file is a regular file.
