You're trying to create a directory 'wcfsdtmf' on 'wcfsdtmf2'.

Do this instead:
 $ rsync -ar wcfsdtmf/ wcfsdtmf2/

That'll likely fail too, though, because it smells like wcfsdtmf2
is mounted w/o permission for root (or whomever you're logged in
as) to write to it.

An alternative would be to login to the target system and do:
  $ rsync -avx -e ssh sourceSystem:/path/to/wcfsdtmf/ /path/to/backup/of/wcfsdtmf/
