"nohup rsync ... >my.log &2>1" does not work

I logged in through a command shell on a Linux system and entered a command:

nohup rsync ... >my.log &2>1

I expected that after the command issue the command prompt

ml@server [/]#

gets visible again.

But the ssh terminal is blocked as if I would have NOT entered "nohup".

Why is the rsync command still running in foreground although I prepended the command with "nohup" ?
