On centos 8 stream it fails

[falves1]

This fails
msrsync -p32 --rsync "-avzh --numeric-ids" /var/lib/mysql/* .
Source '/var/lib/mysql/aria_log.00000001' is not a directory

but this works
rsync -avzh --numeric-ids /var/lib/mysql/* .

Could you try without “*” ?

I understand now, it needs to point to a directory. Many thanks for your help and intelligence.
