You should typically copy into an empty directory tree when using
--link-dest to effect maximal linking of existing files.  The CVS
version supports the use of multiple --link-dest options now, so
this feature will be coming out in the next release (whenever that
will be).  You can try it out now by either checking out the CVS
version or snagging the latest "nightly" tar file from the rsync
website.
