Please disregard this message. I was copying older data.

I'm doing a recurring copy from one server to another from the crontab in this fashion:
rsync -av -e ssh --delete 10.0.1.18:/dir1/ /dir1 --progress &> /var/log/rsync_backup.log
However, rsync is creating the dir /dir1/dir1 on the machine running this job instead of updating the /dir1 folder.
According to the rsync man page, this is the correct syntax:
rsync -avz foo:src/bar/ /data/tmp
A trailing slash on the source changes this behavior to avoid creating an additional directory level at the destination. You can think of a trailing / on a source as meaning “copy the contents of this directory” as opposed to “copy the directory by name”, but in both cases the attributes of the containing directory are transferred to the containing directory on the destination. In other words, each of the following commands copies the files in the same way, including their setting of the attributes of /dest/foo:
rsync -av /src/foo /dest rsync -av /src/foo/ /dest/foo
Am I doing something wrong? I am using rsync version 2.6.3 protocol version 28 on a Debian/Sarge system.
