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,

Hi All,
'wine-*' was it. Exclude is looking for a "pattern".
I had imprinted "path" on my brain.
Thank you all for the help me with this!

test run string:
rsync -rv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=1 \
--times --inplace --copy-links \
--exclude='{wine-*,wine-1.7.24}' /home/CDs/Linux /mnt/MyCDs/.
