Help with command line synchronize

I am able to sync a remote folder using the GUI, but only if I choose "preview changes' and 'check all' option.

Ultimately, I want to schedule sync to run automatically, so I went into command shell mode with the following syntax. The script seems to run and exit, but no files are synced. Any tips?

From command line
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console /script=c:\backup\backupScript.txt /log=c:\backup\%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%_BackupLog.txt

Contents of backupScript
open username:password@ipaddress
synchronize remote C:\backup /home/username/backup
close
