Update of several SPECIFIC files

[Bill Schuller]

I am trying to sync several specific files over ssh. This works fine when I specify the files indivdually, a la:

rsync -av --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /etc/passwd remotehost:/etc/passwd

What I want to do though, is update several files at once, a la:

rsync -av --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --include-from updatesys.inc remotehost:

See below for updatesys.inc. The file list gets generated just fine. It doesn't update any of the files on the remote host though. Here's the output:

receiving file list ... done

Any ideas?
