why does this rsync commands copy again the same files?

this command has a error
the last aparm is missing a trailing slash

maybe because the target is vfat

have you compared the timestamps on tke target?
maybe try --update

maybe there are also chars which are not represented properly
on vfat in your filenames

if the filenames are 100% identical rsync will not copy the whole
data in any case, but with USB read-peroformance for verify is
ugly - so look at rsync --help and ignore as many things as
possible with crappy destination filesystems
