rsync

I set up a new ec2 ubuntu server and I'm unable to use rsync to push a file up. I can ssh to the machine with my keypair. I'm not sure why this looks like it works but finishes in half a second and there is nothing in /home/ubuntu on the server.

?  ~  rsync -av -i ~/.ec2/my-keypair ~/Downloads/pushcom.2012-06-26T01-10-04.gz  [email protected]
building file list ... done
>f..t.... gsg-keypair
>f..t.... pushwoodcom.2012-06-26T01-10-04.gz

sent 3624 bytes  received 64 bytes  7376.00 bytes/sec
total size is 3392  speedup is 0.92

I've tried 50 different ways of the rsync command but I can't get anything to work. Please help! Thanks
