I doubt that very much, so I'd suggest checking on what else might be going on. Rsync has a bunch of safety functions with built-in dry-run checks that keep it from making the changes that it itemizes that need to be done. And if it didn't even mention that a file needs to be updated, there's no reason for it to have somehow made a secret change. If you were expecting to see a file change in the list of dry-run changes and it's not there, then something prior to the rsync dry-run must have changed it. Given that you're using -H, you might check if the affected file was linked to a file that was recently changed in some other copy. ..wayne..
