The rsync tests are unstable since the directory listing includes the

last modification timestamp. One directory represents the one rsync is
operating on and the other is our reference to compare against. If the
current time managed to tick up to the next minute between creation of
the two directories, the timestamps will differ.

Improving the normalization in the findme helper makes the tests stable.
