Unless you are doing different incremental levels, the two runs should 
be exactly the same from the server's perspective, doing the rsync 
comparison against the save full run as the base.  Can anything have 
changed on the files (timestamps, owner, etc.)?  I'm not sure what 
metadata it actually checks on a windows client or whether there is 
anything different about DeltaCopy in this respect, but rsync will show 
those differences as an update without spending any time copying the 
unchanged content.   But even then it doesn't make sense that #335 is 
normal again unless you have set incremental levels since it should 
still be checking against the last full.
