rsync ignoring some new files

[Brian Vaughan]

Thanks, J.W.   Removing the -C worked.   But it also showed that the -C 
didn't do what I thought it did.  The man page says:

           -C, --cvs-exclude           auto ignore files in  the  same way 
CVS does

For some reason I read this to mean that it was excluding the cvs-specific 
files in the 'CVS' directories that cvs puts everywhere it is used.

Exactly what is it really excluding?
