When working on some filter rules it helps to use --debug=FILTER or --debug=FILTER2 options. (While these are implied by -vv and -vvv respectively, it's better to be more specific in what you want to debug.) The FILTER2 level mentions the add_rule(RULE_HERE) call where a trailing space would be visible prior to the trailing paren, though it might not be immediately obvious. I've just made a change in git that makes rsync output a warning message in either debug-filter level if there is a trailing space or tab on a rule, which will help someone notice it if they didn't intend to specify it. ..wayne..
