Are the file systems the same on the source and the destination
partitions?

Check out

  --modify-window

in the help.  If the source and destination file systems have different
timestamp precision, this is the usual solution.

You can also try

  rsync /path-to-foo

where path-to-foo is a directory or file.  This will list the file
timestamps as rsync interprets them.

BTW, what version of rsync are you running?  It might matter.
