This is still not working - the directories (and their files and
subdirectories) that are supposed to be excluded are still being copied.
Has anyone out there successfully set-up rsync to copy a directory structure
while excluding some subdirectories and their nested sub-subdirectories?

The pathnames that the exclude algorithm has to work with
will not be the
full path but instead the logical path based on the module
name. Try
/static_files/production/db_log/**
/static_files/2000/data/**
I'm pretty sure that will do it.
