rsync: exclude doesn't work?

2004-02-13 Thread Rob 


Hi,

I use rsync to back up my files, but I want to exclude uninteresting bulk
files in cache directories of netscape, opera and mozilla. After reading
the man pages, I use following call:
/usr/local/bin/rsync \
--exclude rob/.netscape/cache/ \
--exclude rob/.mozilla/**/Cache/ \
--exclude rob/.opera/cache4/ \
-avzC /home/rob /home/BACKUP
However, the exclude lines seem to be ineffective; all the cache directories
are rsync'ed each time this backup script runs.
Any ideas why that is?

Thanks
Rob.

Shouldn't there be a tilde before rob?

As in ~rob/.opera/cache4/ for example.
