I don't see anything wrong with the command, but note that the syntax
you're using for multiple remote source arguments is new in rsync 3.0.0;
older rsync clients will reject it with an error.  If your rsync is
older than 3.0.0, try this syntax instead:

rsync -e "/<path to ssh>/ssh -i/<keypath>/.ssh/id_rsa " -vaoRrn user at hostname:'/root/directory/./dirToSync1 /root/directory/./dirToSync2' '/dir/to/destination'
