Done that. Result: rsync include/exclude matching is definitively wrong. If
"... matching is done using shell filename matching ..." this file should
work:

- /*
+ /iso/1.5.*/i386*

but doesn't. Looks like "*" is matched, but does not lead to a "true"
matched against "/iso/1.5.1/i386cd.iso". Any way to debug this, making sure
how matches are really done?
