I'd imagine there is some slight difference between the actual dir name and the include line. e.g., make sure there is not a trailing space on the line that includes the solver-alpha directory. Make sure that the dirname exactly matches that in both case and characters. Make sure that there aren't any earlier exclude rules superseding those rules (is that the only exclude file?)<div>
<br></div><div>If you can't see an issue, try adding a second -v option to the transfer and reading the "hiding" message that rsync outputs, such as:<div><br></div><div><div>[sender] hiding file gale/Solver-alpha because of pattern *</div>
