The man page talks about how the exclusion of the parent directory
short-circuits the directory traversal, and the u1 dir is never even
visited (giving the include nothing to match).  You need something
like this:

+ /u1/
+ /u1/important
- /u1/*
.....

That way rsync can get into the dir, match what you want, and exclude
everything else.
