My include -exclude option is not working. I am not able to figure out the
problem.

Here is what I am doing ....

INLD=/export/script/incld-file
EXLD=/export/script/exld-file
OPTION=" --stats --include-from=$INLD --exclude-from=$EXLD"
echo " Enter files name/ dir name to be included
read AFILE
echo $AFILE >> $INLD
..........................................

..same for exclude file

The include file looks like 
# cat incld-file
/export/home/*
/tmp/*

# cat exld-file
/export/home/Mail


finally ---- >           rsync -avz $OPTIONS $HOME/rsync_script
server::module

Now at the server end, I am getting only $HOME/rsync_script. I am not
getting any file from "excluded-file".


Any suggestion. BTW, I saw in rsync archive, someone using  /foo/**
........... What is the use of "**" ..is it same as "/foo/*" .... 

Tia,
