To synchronize all the files in this directory, I believe you will need
the --recursive option.  This would work without the recursive option if
your 'foreach' statement iterated over all files in the tree.

Try this instead:

	rsync -vrz -e ssh username at hostname:/src/$directory/ /dst/$directory/



Good luck,
