Did you mount the drive as a different user than bmike1?

If you use --delete-before rsync will have to know the whole list of files so it will know what to delete, so naturally incremental recursion gets turned off because leaving it on conflicts with that you have asked it to do.

In my subsequent investigation into it's use I found the manpage says that using that option disables 'incremental recursion'. What is 'incremental recurssion'? I assume that I will still be able to backup lower level directories. Some options require rsync to know the full file list, so these options disable the incremental recursion mode. These include: --delete-before, --delete-after, --prune-empty-dirs, and --delay-updates. Because of this, the default delete mode when you specify --delete is now --delete-during when both ends of the connection are at least 3.0.0 (use --del or --delete-during to request this improved deletion mode explicitly). See also the --delete-delay option that is a better choice than using --delete-after.
