I was expecting 'rsbackup --retire host' to mean "forget about this host", but it means (as documented in the manual) "forget about this post and also delete all the backups". I think it would be nice if rsbackup had a confirmation prompt to check that you really wanted to blow away your backups before it fires up the rm -rf...
