If you are happy with the results without the -X option and there is  
no errors being displayed, then I would suggest that you drop that flag.

Just keep in mind that some of the extended attributes may not be in  
sync or that some files may get transfered when they do not need to  
be. I do not understand the finer points of this flag.

You will be able to gain more information on which files are being  
transfered and when by using either the --log-file=FILE, --itemize- 
changes or --verbose options.

My advise is that you carefully check that any information you need  
transferred is actually transfered or in your case synchronized.

I hope this helps.
