This works as I expect, sender:/home/user/profile/ is not copied, except that receiver:/home/user/profile/ is deleted.
Hmm, wouldn't the exclude need to be "/profile", as the exclude patterns starting with / are anchored at the top of the source tree, ie. /home/user ? Or am I confused about the exclude patterns again :)
I'm pretty sure / refers to /home/... at least that's how it looks when using -v. In any case, the exclude is working OK for the copy, just not for the delete.
Thanks, ...andrew
