Thanks, Peter! Yes, I was giving it an explicit list of files instead of
just the directory. Apparently that turns off the --delete feature.
Obviously I'm a newbie w/ rsync. I guess I'll go back and read the man
page some more.

What's the "*" doing? That renders the command incomprehensible to me!
The shell will expand that to whatever it feels like! Don't you mean:
rsync -rlptvvvv --delete tmpsrc/ tmpdest/
