rsync - May 2010 - rsync failure quoting incorrect directory

Readers,

Command terminal output:

$ rsync -rv * -e ssh user at pathtoremotemachine
sending incremental file list
rsync: mkdir "/localmachine/path/to/home/user at pathtoremotemachine"
failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(576) [receiver=3.0.4]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
io.c(632) [sender=3.0.4]

Any help?

rsync 304
mandriva 2009

You need to use a single colon for a destination over remote shell.  See
the "SYNOPSIS" section of the rsync man page.
