Without a trailing slash on the source, the "home" dir is part of the transfer, and will be expected to exist inside the link-dest dir and will be created inside the destination dir.
The command itself is what I want. E.g., backing up all user data on a webserver. My isssue is that --link-dest has no effect. That some files are the same with matching timestamps and are not hardlinked is shown by the following:

My question[s] is/are: does one of the options conflict with link-dest? is the command correct, ie does anything in it override link-dest? is this a know bug in the version I am using? ...
If it is not, either add a trailing slash to the source, or remove the trailing "home" from both the link-dest arg and the destination...wayne..
