There are no excluded files in that command, so there is nothing to omit
from the --delete.  You're probably referring to some exclusions
specified in the rsyncd.conf file, but those aren't actually exclusions.
They are totally ignored files (that causes files to be treated as if
they don't exist on the server).  If you don't want certain files to be
deleted, you have to specify them as actual --exclude options on the
command-line.
