I followed the exact instructions at :
http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html
which read (in part) :
rsync -r --delete --exclude=2008 --exclude=mactex*
rsync://somehost/some/path/ /your/local/dir
which after instantiating to reality became :
"E:\Layered products\Synametrics Technologies\DeltaCopy\rsync.exe" -r
--delete --progress --exclude=2008 --exclude=mactex*
rsync://guiling.fr/texlive/ /TeX/Live/2009/Mirror
(note --progress added only today, after capturing this incantation
in a Windows' shortcut).
