Hey Budge. What I suggest you do is perform the rsync command but against a single file after making a 
metadata change. Verify the checksum both before and after changing it to verify it actually happened. If 
rsync still doesn't send the delta I suggest you keep removing switches until you've managed to isolate the 
one causing problems. I'd try just... 

$ rsync -avz --progress --partial (source file) (destination file)
