Would you mind emailing me file1a and file1b assuming you are willing to share them? Send to: m (at) zorinaq.con It's possible to have a scenario where your synchronization process (involving Google Cloud?) somehow changed the modification time of your files so that both copies in src/ and dst/ have the same timestamp, in that case rsync will not notice they are different (if they also have the same size). Like the other reply said you have to use rsync --checksum or -c to force rsync to compare the content of files.
