They  do now, but it looks like you have lots of files hard-linked together
and presumably 2 of them aren't the same anymore on the source. Thus, the
file gets modified to the other version during the transfer and then
modified back elsewhere in the transfer.

If you get rid of the --inplace option, rsync will be able to separate them.
