Rsync recursion

Hello,
I'm trying to break up my rsync process by separating a directory tree
into multiple rsync processes because I'm witnessing some errors trying
to rsync large directory trees on Windows machines. After breaking up
the tree I tried to rsync each individual directory starting from the
bottom directory on up using the command:
foreach ($array as $directory){ /* $array = list of
directories gathered from the larger directory I'm trying to rsync */
rsync -vz -e ssh username at hostname:/src/$directory/
/dst/$directory/
}
But this comes up with the error:
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some
filenames or the --recursive option?
which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.
I've also tried:
rsync -vz -e ssh username at hostname:/src/$directory/*
/dst/$directory/.
but that states that /src/$directory/* does not exist.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to perfom this task?
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Mark J. de Jong
