Help for a newbie.

[Andrea Riciputi]

Thanks Rick,
actually

rsync -a --include "~/Library/bar/" --exclude "*/Library/*" source 
target

doesn't work as expected, but the following:

rsync -a --include "Library/bar/" --exclude "*/Library/*" source target

does work! Could anyone explain what's going on here, even if I've read 
rsync man pages I can't understand how pattern works here. If got the 
point I would know how to reuse it in the future.

Thanks again,
   Andrea.
