OK, but is it right now?

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/home/nbecker'
];

ps auxwww | grep rsync
root     13636  2.8  0.1 119396  4520 ?        Ss   13:18   0:00 /usr/bin/rsync 
--server --sender --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --
block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --ignore-times . /home/nbecker/

Do I interpret this correctly that this says to backup both '.' and 
'/home/nbecker'?  Where did '.' come from (I never specified that).
