n22 ~ # rsync --archive --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/exclude.list
--itemize-changes --link-dest=/mnt/medi/daily/a --stats --verbose --dry-run
/mnt/C/notes/data/archive /mnt/media/daily/b                                    
sending incremental file list                                                   
>f.st...... archive/a_DE1448.nsf                                                                                       
>f..t...... archive/l_DE1448.nsf                                                                                       

Number of files: 3
Number of files transferred: 2



Well, the files in destination dir "b" has to be replaced:

n22 ~ # ls -il /mnt/media/daily/b/archive/*
9306235 -r-xr-x--- 1 tfoerste users 1308622848 Aug 29 11:43
/mnt/media/daily/b/archive/a_DE1448.nsf
  65673 -r-xr-x--- 1 tfoerste users    8126464 Aug 29 11:43
/mnt/media/daily/b/archive/l_DE1448.nsf                    

but rather with a hard-link from "/a" instead copying it from the NTFS drive,
isn't it ?
