rsync exclude/include

I want to rsync only a small part of a directory tree. I've set up an
exclude and an include file:

exclude holds:
/*

include holds:
/iso/1.5.*/i386

I am calling rsync using

rsync -avz --include-from="include" --exclude-from="exclude"
ftp3.sourceforge.net::/netbsd/iso iso/

but nothing happens. No files transfered. But I would expect rsync to
transfer files:

/iso/1.5.1/i386cd.iso
/iso/1.5.1/i386pkg1.iso
/iso/1.5.1/i386pkg2.iso
/iso/1.5.1/i386pkg3.iso
/iso/1.5.2/i386cd.iso
/iso/1.5.1/i386pkg1.iso
/iso/1.5.1/i386pkg2.iso
/iso/1.5.1/i386pkg3.iso

Can one explane why rsync doesn't transfer there files and point me to some
error in my include/exclude files?

Thanks in advance!
