why --delete dosen't work in my script?

[Louis-David Mitterrand]

Hi,

In my backup script I have noticed nothing gets deleted on the remote
end even though I have --delete and --delete-excluded. Did I miss
anything obvious here?

rsync -azC
        -e ssh
        --relative
        --one-file-system
        --sparse
        --numeric-ids
        --vP
        $IGNORE ## a long list of --exclude patterns
        --delete
        --delete-excluded
        --bwlimit=0
        --backup
        --suffix=''
        --backup-dir=$REMOTE_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/$TODAY
        /{etc,home,var/lib,var/cvs,usr/local}
        backup.host.com:$REMOTE_ROOT/$BACKUP_HOST/current


% rsync --version

Also, is there any way at all to make --exclude patterns
case-insensitive? Or do I have to write '*.[eE][xX][eE]' etc.?


Thanks in advance, cheers,
