Since you are using --recursive instead of --archive the timestamps
aren't copied. On the next run, rsync thinks the file has changed
since the timestamps are not the same, and it must transfer the file.
However, since rsync does a block checksum comparison, it discovers
that the data really hasn't changed. So no actual data is sent again.

Use --archive (or at least use --times).

Also, remove the trailing --stats.
