If anyone is out there and knows better on this than me...

I have been puzzled by why I could not get rsync to delete when using the
--delete option.  I learned that if you use  /*.wav that the destination
will not delete its extra files (as used in the Rivendell rd_audio_sync
script). If I remove that from the string, it deletes like expected.

Examples:
rsync -av --delete master::rivendell/*.wav  /var/snd.standby

The above copies all the files from master to standby fine but will not
remove any files in standby that do not exist on the master, whereas the
following does because it requests the whole directory, not individual
files:

rsync -av --delete master::rivendell/  /var/snd.standby

Is there any danger or undesirable consequences to replicating like this?
