Hello,

Perhaps i've misunderstood what you're attempting to do; however, if
you simply want to exclude some files (not delete them), then you
should be using --exclude instead.

As far as the time requirement is concerned, you may wish to consider
generating the file listing ahead of time (using "find", for example),
outputting that list to a text file, then feeding the list to rsync via
--exclude-from=FILENAME .

In this way, you can exlude any number of files in any fashion you
desire.
