rsync -rvutogp -n --delete --stats --progress \ 
--exclude-from=/utils/exc_rsync_applcsf.txt \ 
--rsync-path=/usr/local/bin \ 
/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd \ 
remoteuser at remotehost:/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd 


this will copy the prd directory on the src into the prd 
directory on the dest, giving you:
  remotehost:/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd/prd
I'm guessing that's not what you really want, and is also
the cause of moving all the data. Change your command to
either:
  rsync (flags) /usr/local/bin/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd \
                remotehost:/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102
Or:
  rsync (flags) /usr/local/bin/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd/
                remotehost:/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd

the former means copy the prd directory from src into the
1102 directory on dst; the latter means copy *the contents*
of prd on src into the prd on the dst.

The exclude file is: 

/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd/common/PRD/log/* 
/data/u01/app/applmgr/product/1102/prd/common/PRD/out/* 

 Other info:  usernames, uid and gid are the same on both systems.  rsync
2.5.4 installed in /usr/local/bin on both systems. 

 Any clues ?   I plan to try to sync the entire directory once per day, and
two smaller directories every 15 minutes.
