Thanks Matt. I did try that, although -i seems to 'not work' in combination
with other options. Unfortunately, I didn't have the patience at the time to
document.

When I pass -i (and it gives me the detailed output), I can see the files
that it believes should be copied and the ones that are unchanged, and
everything looks correct.

What I found though was that my tests which I ran straight off the command
line seem to give different results from the backup script. Same exact rsync
options, but from the command line, it behaves as expected.
