Note that in all --*-dest options if the path is relative it is relative to the target dir not the "$PWD". I like to always use absolute paths because of this. But essentially, the command with the instances of $PWD vs without them the paths aren't the same. If you want all relative to . paths it would be: rsync -aHvv --compare-dest=../dstlt/. srclt/. baklt/.
--- Good point -- though it still doesn't explain the differing output when dstlt or baklt are on different file systems (one works, while the other was worse)....
