Rsync is not even trying the link(2) call, as it doesn't recognize that
the files are linked; the output would have been:
./
file1
file2 => file1
Please do an ls -li on the source, to see if the inode numbers are the
same. Perhaps even do it with separate ls invocations ("ls -li file1; ls
-li file2") to see if it varies.
