Thanks again for your help Dave. The last thing I tried was actually as you
just suggested, sans the beginning "/", and it did not work. I've added the
"/" and we'll see how it works, though I thought I had already tried that as
well...
I also added a link in /usr/local/etc to my exclude file in /etc, just in
case rsync is not finding it. If all else fails, there is always the
"-delete-excluded" option on the client, though I hate to copy files and
then delete them (if that even works).

I'm sorry, upon further investigation I think the module
names are also
not part of the path name. Try
/production/db_log/**
/2000/data/**
