Read the first two paragraphs from the --delete option in the rsync
manpage:
http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html
It explains why the '*' is not appropriate and also that -r is
(currently) required to be used (the CVS version will delete inside
directories sent via -d, but not older versions of rsync). If you
don't want subdirectories inside the top-level dirs to be copied,
you can either exclude them (add --exclude='*/*' prior to your first
include and add -r to the options) or upgrade to the CVS version.

OK,
After some reading and keyboard bashing, I thought I made some headway.
I now use:
rsync -r --delete --delete-during --backup --backup-dir=$DELETEDIR \
-v --stats -d --force --include='+ */' --include='- *' $SERVER::'ucp/' .
to fetch the list of directories into the current directory. The
directories
are created correctly. However, when I remove a directory on the source
server,
the local version is (still) not (re)moved. I can confirm that the
directory
contains files. The kicker is, if I dry-run the command it prints:
receiving file list ... done
deleting TEMP/
Why does the dry-run indicate the directory is deleted, but when run with
out the dry-run flag, it is not?
