need rsync.conf exclude example

on the client i am running the following command:

rsync -Cav --exclude=templates_c --port=8738 GNE_FRAMEWORK gamespot_5 
c14-gs-ww1::nfs/gamespot

on the server i have the following module declaration:

[nfs]
path = /nfs/htdocs
read only = no
use chroot = no
exclude = gamespot_5/promos/ gamespot_5/misc/


obviously my intent is to prevent the "promos" and "misc" subdirectories 
from being copied from client to server.  this is not functioning 
though.  what do i have to do to get it to work?


my logfile shows this:

2005/10/07 09:38:45 [31991] rsync to nfs/gamespot from 
c10-gs-dev1.cnet.com (10.16.98.21)
2005/10/07 09:38:45 [31991] gamespot_5/
2005/10/07 09:38:45 [31991] gamespot_5/promos/
2005/10/07 09:38:45 [31992] wrote 32 bytes  read 23896 bytes  total size 
3796806

clearly it's not paying any attention to the exclude.
