Thanks Mechanist; I've been using rsync for months and never noticed that. rsync compares file data, it doesn't use the modificatin date, but still... I'll try it with RsyncX.

  I've been using RsyncX for ages, but the problem I've had lately is that I can't get it to run properly as a cron job. It consistently causes a kernel panic on my 10.4.2 Server. I was hoping that switching to rsync would solve my problems.
  
  If anyone has any suggestions about using RsyncX as a cron job, I'd appreciate it; I did use the fix for the bug in the script generator to make sure the cron job was using /usr/local/bin/rsync.
