rsync --delete isn't deleting files

Rsync 2.6.9 seems to think that the destination is already up to date.
What do you expect it to do that it isn't doing?  Update an existing
file?  (What are the size and mtime of that file and the corresponding
source file?)  Delete an extraneous file?  (Note that you'll have to
convert the exclude to a hide filter, --filter='H /*/', or use
--delete-excluded if you want rsync to delete extraneous directories.)
