problem with the delete option

[Manuel Kissoyan]

Thanx Matt,

ok, i did add the -vv and it simply not running any delete command, the only 
thing close to that is lines like this:

removing duplicate name usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/Bouncer.py 
from file list (93869)

so basicaly rsync is not deleting the files that are not there in the 
sending side.

any idea?
