Answer 1

i am use rsync.exe with

rsync.exe -vrt dir1/ dir2/

and at first dir1 is :

new text.txt
new text 2.txt

and first of all dir2 is empty, maybe, not should create even. At the end dir2 is

new text.txt
new text 2.txt

Answer 2

rsync will skip files that have the same size and modification date. If you suspect this might be the problem, try adding the -I (or --ignore-times) option to the command-line.
