Hi,
It seems the leading "/" in the excluded path is interpreted as the root
of the source directory hierarchy, in this case /home/CDs/Linux/Wine. So
you should try
--exclude '/wine-*'
This is explained in the rsync man page, quite a long way down, under
"ANCHORING INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERNS".
Cheers
Ben

Hi All,
I am trying to do an rsync and exclude a directory called
/home/CDs/Linux/Wine/wine-1.7.37
Problem: rsync sync's it anyway, including when I remove
the * and spell it all out.
What am I doing wrong?
rsync -rv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 \
--times --inplace --copy-links \
--exclude '/home/CDs/Linux/Wine/wine-*' \
/home/CDs/Linux/Wine /mnt/MyCDs/Linux/.
Many thanks,
-T
