As far as i know rsync, this is your error.

Ignoring the current-directory you rsync a bunch of files.
IIRC rsync doesn't delete files on the commandline, only files missing 
in a directory.

Personally i nearly always sync complete directories.
rsync -av source-dir/ target-dir/
(Notice the slashes at the end)
That what is very easy to understand and works "unsurprising".
