Rsync 2.6.9 does not skip any files based on modification time

Hi

I am trying to rsync some ghost images from a windows client running Windows XP to my Linux server. The problem is that rsync sends the complete files again even if nothing changed on the client side. The only way to avoid this is to use the "-c"-option but this takes nearly as long as uploading the files would.

The server is running rsync-2.6.9, /etc/rsyncd.conf looks as follows. /mnt/D/ is a FAT32 partition.

read only = false
use chroot = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

[Backup]
path = /mnt/D/Backup
auth users = stefan
uid = stefan

[HDD-Abbilder]
path = /mnt/D/HDD-Abbilder
auth users = stefan
uid = stefan


The client is using cwRsync_2.0.10, which also uses rsync 2.6.9. I am using the patched cygwin1.dll from http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/download.html in order to preserve filenames with german umlauts when uploading to the server. This is the line used to call rsync from cwrsync.cmd
rsync -rvvvv --del --modify-window=3 /cygdrive/E/HDD-Abbilder/ stefan@...::HDD-Abbilder

How can I get rsync to skip files based on modification time ?

Bye
Stefan
