Since you say the number is small, I suspect that something simple like: rsync -hia /path/to/sync/common remotehost: rsync -hia --ignore-times /path/to/sync/groupN remotehost: will be close to optimal. Another option is to build an --exclude-from list for the files in the special group and apply it to the first rsync. Then you can run the second rsync without the --ignore-times, which may result in faster overall throughput. FWIW, I think you will find the -hi output more useful than the -v output.
