Okay then, do that:

  rsync --dry-run $args $source $destination  # <--- testing, then...
  rsync           $args $source $destination  # <--- ...actually does it

There's a canned retort in here about those who fail to learn from rsync 
will end up reinventing it, badly, but I can't quite find the witty 
version I'm looking for (and, for that matter, I can't quite remember 
the quote that I'm ripping off there, either...).
