Thanks for the suggestion. Although I don't use MS-Windows I will cc 
this email to someone who knows how stat-w32.c works. Bruno, you can see

after little research iam found the issue

iam using many cloned virtual disk drives
which has same serial number (becase was cloned)

diff uses "stat" call to get info about disk
so when i use sync between this disks
i have another mont drive letter  but same serial number, same path
diff -urN D:\path E:\path  give me there no diff, path the same

so i propose little fix for this
just edit at the file diffutils-3.7\lib\stat-w32.c

to "buf->st_dev" after assign "VolumeSerialNumber"
add disk drive letter
this will produce unique "st_dev"
and diff will work for such cases
