I can only makes guesses: If you have some dirs that differ in case, try this: - [Tt][Mm][Pp]/ If all the dirs are named exactly "TMP", make sure that your exclude rule does not have any surrounding whitespace (it must be exactly "- TMP/"). Finally, check that you have the rules in the right order. Running rsync with more -v options will tell you if a prior rule is matching the TMP dir, and thus that exclude would have no effect. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
