Do you happen to be sending to the daemon? It only works for receiving
files from a daemon. Last week I changed the rsyncd.conf man page as
follows:
This is equivalent to the client specifying these patterns with the
--exclude option, except that the exclude list is not passed to the
client and thus only applies on the server and also only applies when
receiving files from a server and not when sending files to it.
