Something may be slightly off in your code -- rsync_project definitely
makes use of env.host_string:

    https://github.com/fabric/fabric/blob/master/fabric/contrib/project.py#L101

If you are able to share a sample of your code & the output from when
you run it, that might help us figure out what's up.

I'll also mention that get() is capable of grabbing files recursively
(and can also use glob syntax), so depending on your specifics, that
might be worth exploring over rsync.

Best,
Jeff
