First... do not use -z  all files are already compressed... most sites 
recomend to turn this off, as it is cpu intensive.

secondly not need to set the complete path  use the module instead...
rsync -av (no z) -n (as this is your first try use) --delete-after --progress 
--update sunsite.uio.no::Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 /home/whatever-dir/cooker

And this is what I actually use:

 rsync -a -vvv --progress --partial --update --delete  
ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 /home/admin/cooker
