This is different timestamps:

change vs modify. 

The contents were last modified on the modify time, the metadata was
last changed on the change date. 

Everything seems to be working fine from all I can tell. We have 2
mirrors that are not syncing things over and over, and if this was
indeed happening to every mirror we would sure notice it on the
infrastructure side in bandwith. Additionally nothing has changed...
same script to generate the files, no changes to quick mirror that I am
aware of, etc. 

Might be worth subscribing to/asking on the mirror-admin list for
further details?
