rsync between local directories -- what's needed?

- Subject: rsync between local directories -- what's needed?
I'd like to use rsync to keep a tree on a removable disk in sync but
even the simplest local to local rsync hangs. Here's what I see:
% rsync -rvvvvvvv a a.new
FILE_STRUCT_LEN=16, EXTRA_LEN=4
cmd=<NULL> machine=<NULL> user=<NULL> path=a.new
cmd[0]=. cmd[1]=a.new
note: iconv_open("CP1252", "CP1252") succeeded.
...hangs...
rsync -v says 'rsync version 3.0.4 protocol version 30'
I see there are dozens of messages about rsync and sshd/rsyncd, but
is that machinery required to be in place for local to local copies?
p.s.
The big picture, as I allude to above, is to keep a removable disk in
sync with the drive on my laptop, without having to backup/copy the
whole works every time. If there some simpler utility you'd
recommend for that (Cygwin or not), I'm open to suggestions.
