With --source-backup the tree structure of the original source file is also being included in the --backup-dir directory.
That is an idiosyncracy of the quick-and-dirty way I implemented the source backup, and I documented it in the patched man page. To avoid it, cd into the source directory first so you can give the source argument as "." or just a filename. When Wayne made a modified version of the source-backup patch to include with HEAD of rsync, he found it more convenient to follow the backup-dir path starting from the source dir rather than the source argument path starting from the backup dir. It's not clear to me whether either of these behaviors is the best possible.
