Rsync syntax??

Hello,
Asimple question about RSYNC. I may not even be in the correct topic area.
When I type in:
$ rsync -a -v --delete tnellis@172.16.94.5/home/ shares/SHARE1/nitixbkup/
I get:
building file list ... link_stat tnellis@172.16.94.5/home/. : No such file or directory
done
wrote 29 bytes read 20 bytes 98.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(578)

I'm assuming that the syntax is incorrect.

I'm trying to back up all the files/folders on the remote machine at 172.16.94.3/home/ to a local box and place the copy in the shares/share1/nitixbkup folder.

Any ideas???

Tom
