I think you are hitting this, from the rsync manpage:
rsync finds the files to send. If a pattern excludes a
particular parent directory, it can render a deeper include
pattern ineffectual because rsync did not descend through
that excluded section of the hierarchy. This is particu‐
larly important when using a trailing ‘*’ rule. For
instance, this won’t work:
+ /some/path/this-file-will-not-be-found
+ /file-is-included
- *
This fails because the parent directory “some” is excluded
by the ‘*’ rule, so rsync never visits any of the files in
the “some” or “some/path” directories. One solution is to
ask for all directories in the hierarchy to be included by
using a single rule: “+ */” (put it somewhere before the “-
*” rule), and perhaps use the --prune-empty-dirs option.
Another solution is to add specific include rules for all
the parent dirs that need to be visited. For instance,
this set of rules works fine:
+ /some/
+ /some/path/
+ /some/path/this-file-is-found
+ /file-also-included
- *
