Inclusions and exclusions are relative to the base of the transfer.  Use
a leading '/' if you want to indicate that the inclusion/exclusion is
anchored to this base.  Like this:

rsync -av /software/testdir/ --exclude=/test.sql landser at serv602:/software/testdir/

That will exclude /software/testdir/test.sql.
