Rsync keeps copying everything to the server

I have changed the script to:

rsync.exe -ai --size-only --progress
--log-file=/cygdrive/v/notes/archive/RSyncLogFile.txt
/cygdrive/d/%username%/notes/archive /cygdrive/v/notes/

The output is:

2014/10/02 10:25:49 [5088] >f.st...... archive/file1.nsf
2014/10/02 10:25:54 [5088] sent 4073663746 bytes  received 41 bytes  total
size 9589227520


The result:

Only the modified file was backed up. However the whole file was copied,
not just the new things. :-(

If I could improve this should be excellent. :-)
