You're correctly using --modify-window, which is otherwise the probable
solution to your problem. However, somehow rsync still considers an
update necessary. You can use -i (--itemize-changes) to let rsync show
what attributes are incorrect, triggering the update. Once you know
that, you can try to fix it.
