Hi,

The following works:
rsync -av --exclude=/test/dir1/ /foo/test serv2:/foo
Why?
Because one should think the exclude pathnames are *relative* ones to
the destination directory.
In your case, you want the /foo/test directory to be copied as
serv2:/foo/test.
Note that this is equivalent to:
rsync -av --exclude=/dir1/ /foo/test/ serv2:/foo/test
I admit that this is not quite obvious.
