Of course - I had overlooked the . and .. directories.  That explains what 
happened.  So, how can I rsync all my home folder, excluding the hidden files 
and, say Desktop and Download directories?  I'd realy appreciate an example.

I'm managing to get workable recursive directory copies now, but if I have to 
do a manual listing of those transfers I would miss any new ones created.
