Found the problem. Since rsync gets a perms denied from .hidden, it
refuses to delete files.

root(at)seraph:/root# ./rsync-postgres-ftp
receiving file list ... opendir(.hidden): Permission denied
done
IO error encountered - skipping file deletion
wrote 105 bytes read 20762 bytes 2782.27 bytes/sec
total size is 521221478 speedup is 24978.27

When I changed the script to:

#/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --delete hub.org::postgresql-ftp
/mnt/ftpd/pub/postgresql
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --ignore-errors --delete
hub.org::postgresql-ftp /mnt/ftpd/pub/postgresql

It worked. People need to either use the --ignore-errors or have the
.hidden folder on the server removed.
