       "when used with -r  (which  is  implied  by  -a),
       every subcomponent of every path is visited from top down,
       so include/exclude patterns  get  applied  recursively  to
       each subcomponent."

       "...base of the tree."

I guess I didn't make the connection from these phrases that the base of the
tree is not the beginning of a path
(/mnt/pc/machine/share/blah/blah/blah.txt), or that the "path" here is
relative to the source path in the rsync command.

Thanks for your help,

Bart
