Not sure, but is it hanging on the -r tag? Recursive is implied by the -a.
>From the man page (emphasis mine):
Note that, when using the *--recursive* (*-r*) option (which is
_/implied by *-a*/_), every subcomponent of every path is visited
from the top down, so include/exclude patterns get applied
recursively to each subcomponent's full name (e.g. to include
"/foo/bar/baz" the subcomponents "/foo" and "/foo/bar" must not be
excluded).
Give that a shot,
John
