so it looks to me like its replacing the files that already existon the
remote server.
the only thing i can think of is that the remote server is in a
different timezone ( 8 hours hehind me )
Could that make a difference ?

I'm using lftp to backup to a remote server and use
mirror -R -v -n -X Maildir/ /home/mine mine
ie everything in /home/mine except Maildir
it is removing and then re-transferring each file , even hough it hasn’t
been changed on the local machine .
Is this correct ?
No, lftp leaves the unchanged files as is. Use --verbose=3 to see it yourself.
