It would be more accurate to say that the filtering becomes relevant.
Unless I am mistaken, the non-recursive listing would show only
top-level directories inside DBS.  I don't know how you would see the
Tariff subdirectories included but not the other subdirectories.

You do want to keep the individual Tariff folders separate, in the same
arrangement as in the source, right?  If you want to merge them into
one, you would do something completely different.

Yes.  To do this, add a rule like --exclude='/*/*'; put it after the
--include="+ */Tariff/" rule so it has lower priority.
