-P appears to allow you to show progress graphically with the -v switch
also chosen.
I think his example:
cd $directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP ./ $remote:$directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP $remote:$directory/ .
was meant to look like:
cd $directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP ./ $remote:$directory
rsync -e ssh -vaurP $remote:$directory ./ <-- (dot)(slash) not (slash)(space)(dot)
a trailing slash copies directory contents whereas not having the slash copies that directory, too. (I.E. if I am rsyncing /home/me on two machines, /home/me will copy everything including the me directory, whereas /home/me/ will only copy the contents of me. This becomes important - as I have learned the hard way - when syncronizing two dissimilar directories - i.e. /home/me to /backup/me/date.)
hth,

p.s. I hope I got Bill's message correctly...
