It looks like you have --exclude and --delete-excluded backwards.
Each --exclude specifies an exclude filter (which could be just a
directory), while --delete-excluded is a single flag that stops
exclude filters from protecting destination files from deletion. Try
this command:
rsync -az -t -e ssh -vv --delete --exclude
opt/mscdr/arb821/Server/logs --exclude
opt/mscdr/arb821/Server/altavistaDir --delete-excluded --bwlimit=1000
$HOSTTOBACKUP:$SOURCE $DR_BACKUP_DIR/daily.0 >$tempfile 2>&1
