Not really sure what you are trying to accomplish here. Seems like it should work the way you have it. Note that many wonky rsync kludges are due to people not realizing that rsync can have multiple source arguments. Instead of the source simply being . it can be a list of stuff. Also, note that -a includes --recursive except when --files-from is in play.
