Beginner help: Excluding directories by pattern

[Michael_google gmail_Gersten]

I apologize in advance for asking a beginner question, but I really
could not figure this from the manual page.

I want to copy some files with rsync, and not copy others.

The stuff that I do not want to copy looks like this:

System Volume Information/_restore*/RP*
WINDOWS/Prefetch/*
Documents and Settings/leila/Local Settings/Application
Data/Google/Chrome/Application/*/Installer/chrome.7z
Documents and Settings/leila/Local Settings/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache/*

Note that there are spaces in these names. Note that there are
wildcards in the middle of the name. Note that I'm looking to
transfer/create an empty directory in some cases.

So, just a quickie: how?

My current command line for rsync looks like this:

rsync -A -a --delete --rsync-path="/opt/local/bin/rsync --fake-super
--log-file=/tmp/rlog.txt" /cygdrive/c/
"rsync at kleiman-ibook:/Volumes/Windows\ rsync\rsync"

and if there's a good way to shorten that, I'd love to know.

Incidentally, I get a LOT of error messages:
Kleiman-ibook:Windows TM michael$ head -5 /tmp/rlog.txt

This continues for a very long time :-).
