It is finally working but I am not sure if I understand it right. It seems to me that the order in which 'include' and 'exclude' exist in the command line is making all the difference. Check out the following two commands:
*** include is BEFORE exclude - Working fine ! *** [admx:test] $ rsync -va --include=an* --exclude=* ./* mm2x::AppError building file list ... done an01 an02 wrote 178 bytes read 369 bytes 1094.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 *** include is AFTER exclude - Not Working ! *** [admx:test] $ rsync -va --exclude=* --include=an* ./* mm2x::AppError building file list ... done wrote 67 bytes read 337 bytes 269.33 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 Unless I am missing something obvious, the order is all that is different in two statements above.
