rsync --delete isn't deleting files

Hmm, looks like I'm not done with this, yet.
With rsync 3.02, it works fine:

rsync --exclude='/*/' --delete-before -tvlpr
rsync://rsync.sabayonlinux.org/SabayonLinux/ /storage/mirrors/

But not with the 2.6.9 version :|
I just get this, with the mirror completely outdated:

             receiving file list ... done

             sent 92 bytes  received 518 bytes  93.85 bytes/sec
             total size is 11592052049  speedup is 19003364.01

I would rather like to keep this version, since it's the one that
comes with the distro, if possible. Help!

Best regards,
                          Tiago Marques
