Would some of the files exist on /vol2? If not, why bother with using
rsync? Why not just use find and cpio?
Alternatively, you could create an include file with find and pass the
include file to rsync along with --exclude '*' to exclude everything else.
Currently you also need to explicitly include all parent directories of
files you want copied.
