Are you preserving the times?
There are many combinations.
Me, I always use -a and then add stuff.
Copying or Rsyncing windows stuff always seems to have stuff
(essential to Linux/Unix) missing from the windows side.
But nothing in that parameter list looks like it would
preserve the modification time (or any other time).
