rsync 3.0.4 under cygwin: problems with --exclude

[Alessandro Toso]

Paul,
thanks for the reply. In the real script that I use the dash between exclude
and from was there and for some reason I didn't copied in the mail. That is
also confirmed from the output of rsync that I've attached.

# ---------------------------------------------------------------- #
[client] parse_filter_file(/cygdrive/f/.bak_exclude,0,3)
 <------------------ here it's reading the file with the folder that I want
to exclude
[client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/Software/)
 <------------------ here I don't know exactly the meaning of -s (is the
rsync option --protect-args????)
[client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/Intel/)
[client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/Sysprep2003/)
[client] add_rule(-s /cygdrive/d/RECYCLER/)
sending incremental file list
[sender] make_file(.,*,0)
[sender] make_file(Documents,*,2)
[sender] make_file(Downloads,*,2)
[sender] make_file(Intel,*,2)
[sender] make_file(Matlab_Fuctions,*,2)
[sender] make_file(Personal,*,2)
[sender] make_file(RECYCLER,*,2)
[sender] make_file(Scripts,*,2)
[sender] make_file(Software,*,2)
[sender] make_file(Sysprep2003,*,2)
[sender] make_file(System Volume Information,*,2)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------- #

Cheers,
Alessandro
