subprocess.call using string vs using list

Ich versuche, Rsync mit subprocess.call zu verwenden. Seltsamerweise funktioniert es, wenn ich subprocess.call als String übergebe, aber es funktioniert nicht mit einer Liste (ala, Pythons Dokument).

Aufruf von sp.call mit einem String:
In [23]: sp.call("rsync -av content/ writings_raw/", shell=True)
sending incremental file list

sent 6236 bytes  received 22 bytes  12516.00 bytes/sec
total size is 324710  speedup is 51.89
Out[23]: 0
Aufruf von sp.call mit einer Liste:
In [24]: sp.call(["rsync", "-av", "content/", "writings_raw/"], shell=True)

rsync is a file transfer program capable of efficient remote update
via a fast differencing algorithm.

Usage: rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST:DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST::DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC [DEST]
  or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]
  or   rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC [DEST]
The ':' usages connect via remote shell, while '::' & 'rsync://' usages connect
to an rsync daemon, and require SRC or DEST to start with a module name.

Options
 -v, --verbose               increase verbosity
 -q, --quiet                 suppress non-error messages
     --no-motd               suppress daemon-mode MOTD (see manpage caveat)
... snipped....
                             repeated: --filter='- .rsync-filter'
     --exclude=PATTERN       exclude files matching PATTERN
     --blocking-io           use blocking I/O for the remote shell
 -4, --ipv4                  prefer IPv4
 -6, --ipv6                  prefer IPv6
     --version               print version number
(-h) --help                  show this help (-h is --help only if used alone)

Was ist falsch daran, wie ich die Liste benutze? Wie würden Sie das beheben? Ich brauche die Liste, weil ich Variablen verwenden möchte. Natürlich könnte ich verwenden:

  sp.call("rsync -av "+Orig+" "+Dest, shell=True)    

Aber ich würde gerne verstehen, wie Unterprozesse Listen und Zeichenfolgen verstehen.

mit der Einstellung shell = False
