rsync - Aug 2003 - Rsync Folder level Synchronizing Problem

Hi,
I am using rsync for synchronizing two development work areas(geographically
seperated).
 
My Task: To copy abc/USER/xyz/123/456/..... to indiavidual developers remote
machines atrting from xyz folder.
 
here USER will vary, so for that i have created module till directory
structure abc
and the command runs like
rsync -avz --times vangrish@ruskin::MODULE/%USERNAME%
<mailto:vangrish@ruskin::MODULE/%USERNAME%>  .
the above mentioned command works fine, but it copies the username folder
also, where as my requirement is from xyz folder, as then another process
runs on the resulted folder.
i tried: 
rsync -avz --times vangrish@ruskin::MODULE/%USERNAME%/xyz
<mailto:vangrish@ruskin::MODULE/%USERNAME%/xyz>  . but it is giving
errors.
i tried --rsync-path option also, but no desired output, any suggestions.
 
please dont tell me to create different modules for each
developer............
 
regards,
Vishal Angrish

Your mailer seems to have garbled things i assume you
example was meant to be
	rsync -avz --times vangrish@ruskin::MODULE/%USERNAME% .
which transfer's from a remote machine to a local; not what
you describe needing.

Read the rsync manpage section entitled "USAGE" paying close
attention to the parts describing the use of a trailing
slash.
