rsync - Jan 2007 - delete option?

Hi,

I have a problem with the --delete option.

In our backup-process we run:

rsync -v --delete --times /var/subversion/ myhost.de:backup/subversion/

The backup works fine - but file which are deleted from the source 
*aren't* deleted from the destination as I expected.

I tried a lot of variations - but I have no clues.

Has anyone an idea what I am missing?

Tino


P.S: I am using rsync 2.6.6

You need the -r option (--recursive) to make rsync go inside the
source and destination directories in the first place so that it can
delete files from the destination.

You say the backup works fine: did rsync copy files from the source
directory to the destination directory, even without -r?  If so, that
would be a big bug.
