It didn't find the exclude_list I created. I modified the script to

--delete-excluded"
# exclude list location:
exclude_list=/root/uhuru_backup/exclude_list
echo "Currently at line 17">>$log_file
The log reported thus:
/root/uhuru_backup/uhuru.daily.sh: line 17: $log_file: ambiguous redirect
rsync: failed to open exclude file exclude_list: No such file or
directory (2)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at exclude.c(1179) [client=3.1.1]
D'oh! I searched around a bit and realised I'd over-complicated it.
This works :-)
# Good rsync options for uhuru_backups.
rsync_opts="-av --exclude-from=/root/uhuru_backup/exclude_list \
--delete --delete-excluded"
Thanks Thomas, I'd still be going round in circles.
