Link-dest thinks file is newly created, but it isn't

Hi:

I've been using rsync for a couple years now. Unfortunately, I've made some
changes on both ends, so it's unclear what could be the culprit. I make
extensive use of --link-dest to provide a cheap "Time Machine"-like backup
for a Windows machine.

Source: Windows 7 running Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-6.1 sith 1.7.33-2(0.280/5/3)
2014-11-13 15:47 x86_64 Cygwin)
Destination: Synology 1512+ (Linux NAS 3.2.40 #5021 SMP Wed Dec 17 18:30:52
CST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_cedarview_1512+)

When I run with a command like the following:

/usr/bin/rsync -avz --itemize-changes --dry-run --no-o --no-g --no-p
--exclude-from=/cygdrive/c/Users/clint/.rsync/exclude --delete
--delete-excluded --link-dest=../latest /cygdrive/c/Users/clint
/cygdrive/c/Users/nancy rsync at nas::NetBackup/sith/2015-01-09T11_58_16


Rsync comes back and tells me this:
<f+++++++++ nancy/Documents/SCRAPPING/Digital/Club
Scrap/0313BookshelvesCSD/0313BookshelvesCSD.zip


However, the file is clearly there. Here's a bit of history of the file
(with inodes listed):

I'm really perplexed as to how rsync thinks this file is new. The checksums
seem to match as well.


Thanks,


-Clint
