Rsync is showing that none of the source files have counterparts on the
destination. That most likely indicates that your source and
destination arguments do not match up correctly.

Unfortunately, this doesn't show the actual source and destination
arguments. But assuming they were "/Users/pen /Users/pen", then rsync
would copy /Users/pen to /Users/pen/Users/pen according to the -R
option. You probably want to remove -R and use a trailing slash on the
source path.
