rsync using wildcard (*) character

[Meeaz]

Hi All,

If I run the following command using include option, it does not copy the
first file from under "/opt/bea/test " directory

rsync -arv --include /opt/bea/test/z* ddef at rclok95:/var/log/Wlog/TEST

Note that the rest of the files are copied. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks
