The paths for 'exclude-from' should be relative to the root directory of
your source. (So, omit the '/begin/' portion of the path.)
$ cd rsync-test
$ mkdir -p begin/subdir
$ touch begin/{a,b,c,d}
$ touch begin/subdir/{x,y,z}
$ cat exclude
- b
- d
- subdir/y
$ rsync --dry-run -av --exclude-from=exclude begin/ end
