Filter rules must be of one of the types listed in the "FILTER RULES"
section of the man page.  I would recommend the following parameter:

filter = + /gdoc/*** - /**

The following parameters would also work, but they rely on rsync's
special case that never allows the root directory to be excluded, which
I consider poor style:

filter = -! /gdoc/***
filter = + /gdoc/*** - /***

Or, you could just change the module path to point to the "gdoc"
directory.
