bizar rysnc problem

Hi all,

i'm syncing two raid sets together using "rsync -avE --delete" i build the two raid sets identical to each other using storenext , however when i let the script run a couple of times my destination is about 300 GB larger then my source.
i run the command as root on a 10.5.6 Xserve and don't get any errors, however it's hard for me to actually trust my backup when they are not exactly identical.
does somebody have an idea what it might be? it can't be block sizes or any other storage config thing. maybe rsync doesn't delete some files properly?
please help.

thanks,

wessel
