I think the problem is that you only excluded files in tmp, not also directories. So if you have a directory /home/tmp/subdir/ that directory will still be created on the destination side. That is why rsync has to check every entry in the tmp directory: to see if it is a directory. Try --exclude="tmp/**" to exclude everything under tmp, including directories.
