rsync doesn't delete files (over ssh)

[Ferran Jorba]

I'm mirroring a whole Linux system, hoping that in the future
we can have a farm of identical systems from a master one.

Temporarily, I'm using --relative to see the results on an
Alpha OSF system.  The problem is that rsync doesn't delete
on the client the files removed on the server.

rsync \
        --verbose \
        --verbose \
        --verbose \
        --stats \
        --archive \
        --relative \
        --exclude /proc/ \
        --exclude /dev/ \
        --exclude /tmp/ \
        --cvs-exclude \
        --delete \
        --delete-exclude \
        --compress \
        --rsh=ssh \
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ /home/fjorba/kiosk/obscured.uab.es

Tested both with rsync 2.3.2 and 2.4.6.

I've browsing thru the mail archives and the bugs database, and 
it seems to me that the --delete an --delete-exclude have subtle
dependencies/incompatibilites with other options, but I haven't
been able to find the correct ones.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ferran
