Thanks for the response. I tried a few simple tests myself and it does indeed appear \
to work. Seems like a few years ago I was able to reproduce the behavior described at \
http://defindit.com/readme_files/rsync_backup.html which says that if you use a \
trailing slash then --delete won't delete top-level directories. Maybe it's been \
fixed with newer rsync's, or maybe I was confused all along? Either way, it appears \
to work.
