Is this somehow related to my exclude line? Most likely. Rsync's include/exclude algorithm works at each level of the tree, and it's fairly easy to accidentally exclude a higher level of the tree without realizing it. I believe that in this case your problem is that while you've included /foo1/bar3/ (and all directories beneath it), your global exclude has excluded the top level /foo1 directory. For cases where you only want a sub-root, you also need to include the intermediate directories along the path to that sub-root if you're going to use a global exclude. You can try running with a few -v options (I think -vv may be enough) to get a glimpse into how rsync is making include/exclude selections. What happens if you add /foo1/ as a separate line on your include list? -- David /-----------------------------------------------------------------------\ \ David Bolen \ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / | FitLinxx, Inc. \ Phone: (203) 708-5192 | / 860 Canal Street, Stamford, CT 06902 \ Fax: (203) 316-5150 \ \-----------------------------------------------------------------------/
