[clug] rsync -r --max-depth=2

I need to pull a mirror of the home dirs on an rsync server.
Because it's a huge job I normally run a script
that does an rsync for each user.
When it happens locally the script starts like this:
cd /home
for $dir in `ls -1 */*`
do
test -d "/back/$dir" || mkdir /back/$dir
rsync -a /home/${dir}/ /back/${dir}/
done
From a remote rsync server I can't do shell globbing.
So if a new user is added , the mirror will never get to know about it.
Is there any option on rsync that will accomplish this:
rsync -ra --maxdepth=2 server::home/ /mirror/
cd /mirror
for $dir in `ls -1 */*`
do
rsync -a server::home/${dir}/ /back/${dir}/
done
<Wonders> Can "-d" be encoraged to pull an unnamed dir?
TIA,
michaelj
