i'm sorry, but:
$ rsync --version
rsync version 2.4.6 protocol version 24
Written by Andrew Tridgell and Paul Mackerras

--exclude-from=FILE exclude patterns listed in FILE
--include-from=FILE don't exclude patterns listed in FILE
--password-file=FILE get password from FILE
i have no option "--files-from=". i can't check.

/usr/bin/rsync -avz --files-from=`find ./WMS_*.log -mtime -7 -print` ...
