Are all the files you want to process at the same depth? If so, something very similar to what you suggested in your first post should work fine:
% cat incl.txt + /*/ + /*/Build + /*/Build.out + /*/Install* - * % rsync -tv --include=incl.txt /home/build/ /backup/build/
This solution does work, though. My problem solved, thank you.
Another solution that works at any level and only transfers the directories necessary to hold the files you want to transfer is:
% cd /home/build % find . -name Build -o -name Build.out -o -name 'Install*' | rsync -tv --files-from=- . /backup/build/
