To pull multiple files from a remote host using rsync older than
3.0.0, you need to list the paths space-separated in a single
argument, like this:

rsync ... 'winds06.win.ch.da.rtr::racebeta/xml
racebeta/xrfsharedresource' /opt/apps/Teamcenter/Production/racebeta

When you used two separate arguments, rsync assumed that the first was
the source and the second was the (local) destination.
