This is happening to me:

$ rsync -av ./foo ./bar $DEST
sending incremental file list
directory has vanished: "/path/to/foo"

foo exists and is regular a regular dir, and rsync -av ./foo $DEST works, same for bar.

Is "directory has vanished" just how rsync tells me that it doesn't know how to work with multiple sources? Or am I importantly misinterpretting the (long) man page?

What is the value of $DEST? – Kyle Jones Apr 8 '12 at 2:14
user@dest.com:dest and /tmp/dest give the same result. (With and without trailing slash.) – quodlibetor Apr 8 '12 at 3:38
