Actually, I've just did some tests and it appears that rsync creates the destination folder if its parent already exists and if you have the right permissions.

For example ("my" and "dest" don't exist yet):

rsync -a src/ dest => "dest" is created

rsync -a src/ my/dest => error, "my" and "dest" don't exist (and are not created then)

rsync --mkpath -a src/ my/dest => "my" and "dest" are created
