I have a sync job to copy some video files. After running "Compare", nine of 29 files are to be copied in both directions. The other 20 are not being touched. As far as I can tell the nine files have the same byte count and date to the second.
Why would FFS copy files from right to left then from left to right? Especially when they appear to be identical?
FFS is running in a W8 VM under Parallels. The location of the "left" side is a network mount back to the hosting MAC OSX. The location of the "right" side is a network mount to a wirelessly connected PC running W7.
Two-way copy on two-way sync job !?

The files on the right have a different name (they start with a space character).

Argh. Thanks :-)
I created the files on the left by copying them from the PC NTFS file system to a USB hard drive formatted as NTFS, then copied from USB hard drive to MAC OS. MAC OS must have removed the space I guess?
