Hi All,

I am trying to rsync thee local directories to a USB
memory stick on the same machine. Eventually, I want
to implement rsync's "--delete" command to make sure the
USB stick doesn't fill with defunct stuff.

But, I can not seem to get the following command to work:

rsync -avr '/home/CDs/Linux /home/CDs/Internet /home/CDs/
Drivers' /mnt/CDs/.

I can get any of the three to work by themselves

rsync -avr '/home/CDs/Linux' /mnt/CDs/.

But, not together.

I though I was following the man page to the letter! What
am I doing wrong?

If you are really trying to copy three subdirectories of
under /home/CDs, then I would suggest getting rid of the
quotation marks. The quotation marks say to use a _single_
path that contains spaces.
