Manually specified --include/--exclude options always override the rules
read in from -C processing in 2.6.3.  So, if the --include option isn't
working, it is likely that you didn't anchor the pattern properly.
Since you didn't mention the actual source/destination paths in your
command-line, I can't tell you exactly how to fix it, but you should be
able to just eliminate the directories from the start of the include
that are not a part of the transferred hierarchy and all should be well.
