 I'm using cwrsync (with rsync 2.6.9) via ssh

Careful: when we say "rsync via ssh", we usually mean that the client
rsync invokes a second instance of rsync on the server as the ssh
remote command.  Your setup counts as talking directly to an rsync
daemon; rsync doesn't care that the connection goes through ssh port
forwarding.

 I'm trying to delete C:\ba\myFile.ico from the server by using
--delete-excluded and
--exclude="/cygdrive/C/ba/myFile.ico".

 Command to run: "c:\cwRsync\bin\rsync.exe"  -vvv -R -r --delete-excluded
--exclude="/cygdrive/C/ba/myFile.ico"
/cygdrive/C/ba/myFile.ico
rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9119/modName/BensComputer/

The trouble is that the receiving rsync only deletes files from a
directory if the entire directory is part of the transfer.  So you
should specify /cygdrive/C/ba , not /cygdrive/C/ba/myFile.ico , as the
source.

Keep in mind that you must continue to specify the --exclude rule on
future runs if you don't want rsync to copy myFile.ico to the server
again.
