With the '*', rsync has to list the dir's contents and see if it matches the exclude or not. However, that has the side effect of not creating (empty) lost+found and .snapshot dirs on the destination if they don't already exist.</div>

If you want to exclude .snapshot dirs anywhere in the tree, leave off the leading slash. If you want to exclude that dir in particular, add the missing /opt prefix.</div>
