Could be, thoght the NAS box has the sending system as it's NTP server so their times should be in sync.

Doesn't seem to stop all the folders being listed even though nothing is transferred.
/usr/bin/rsync -av --modify-window=20 --no-whole-file --delete /music /NSA320-music/ . . .

If you don't want the directories themselves checked you may want the -O (--omit-dir-times) option.
If this is a CIFS or other DOSish filesystem you may also need --no-o --no-p and/or --no-g to ignore other file attributes.
