rsync and ssh port forwarding

I must ssh to a remote machine B by port forwarding via machine A.
Thus, in the background on the local machine, I have running:
ssh -N A.WorkDomain -L N:B:22
where N is the localhost port that has been forwarded.
This allows me to do things like
`ssh localhost -p N' and `scp -P N localhost:/tmp/foo /tmp'
I now want to rsync a directory on B to my local machine using
`rsync -e ssh'
At work I'd just do (say) :
rysnc -a -e ssh --delete B:/tmp/ /tmp/
But from home it seems that I must do something like
rysnc -a -e ssh -p N --delete localhost:/tmp/ /tmp/
The problem is that there doesn't appear to be any such rsync flag.
Or am I just missing the flag among the gajillion or so rsync flags?
