   Marc,

   I actually do what you are trying to do, but I approach it from the 
other direction. I set up a script that makes use of the --files-from= 
option to tell rsync what directories to "include" rather than trying to 
"exclude" things with a pattern. Don't know how many directories your 
dealing with, but this is how I do it:

david@nemesis:~> cat Documents/scripts/rsyncwork
#!/bin/bash
rsync -arvze 
ssh --delete --files-from=/home/david/Documents/scripts/workfiles 
david@xxxxxxxxxx:/home/samba/ /home/samba/law
david@nemesis:~> cat Documents/scripts/workfiles
