you know, there is a "dry-run" mode for csync2.
just _try_ it, and see whether it thinks it wants to sync or not.

go on your node B, say
csync2 -cr / # checks for changes against last recorded state
csync2 -M    # shows what is considered to be "dirty"
csync2 -udv  # "updated" in "dry-run" mode, being "verbose"

if that thinks it is in sync and does not need to do anything,
and you think the same, then maybe thats just it.

that is how it is supposed to work.

however, if csync2 thinks it wants to sync a lot of things, then
probably someone, or something, changed some files on node B, and was
not supposed to do so?
you need to check that yourself, I cannot easily predict the outcome.
