Wondering why rsync isn't copying hidden files. I thought (google told me so) that rsync doesn't treat dot files specially.

Source/destination rsync: 3.0.7

command: 
# rsync -azPv * 10.1.1.1:/u2/ubuntu/
sending incremental file list

sent 96026 bytes  received 388 bytes  38565.60 bytes/sec

The source files:
