   Hello Dave ,
 
   I used already the -L option and it works but only for symlinks with
 other name than .name ..All this symlinks (.netscape , .mozilla ) are
 not included in synchronization.If I rename them it works ...That it's
 my question : how can include hidden dirs and symlinks ?


Normally rsync will not skip . files.  Send me your complete rsync
command line and the ls -l listings of your symlinks.  If your whole reason
for the symlinks is to control what to include and exclude, chances are 
you can skip the symlinks completely and just use --exclude.
