I believe order matters.  It needs to be after the --archive.

Actually, you really shouldn't be using --archive anyways because FAT
only supports a couple of the things in --archive.  You should use
- --recursive and --times instead of --archive and a bunch of things to
remove the parts of --archive that don't work.

Also, if your source is not FAT you will probably also need
- --modify-window=2 and if you live somewhere that has daylight savings
time you will occasionally need --modify-window-3602.
