Batch mode and remote host problem

[cdlscpmv]

Hello, everyone!

It seems that I've encountered a bug in rsync (or maybe it is just
a feature?). When I run rsync on my machine with --only-write-batch and
--delete options, rsync actually deletes files on my remote machine (connected
via ssh). When I do the same thing with a local directory instead of the remote
host, deletion doesn't occur. Version of rsync is 3.1.1.

Such behavior seems inconsistent to me. What do you think?
