include/exclude problems

[Vitaly V. Ganusov]

Dear Wayne,

I am using rsync to synchronize my working files from home computer to 
the work computer. I want to sync only the files in some directories and 
no .files. However, I do need to sync several files from .mozilla 
director (addressbook, calendar and bookmarks) which are located in the 
.directory. I use the following command and the "excluded-utk.txt" file

rsync -aunvz --delete -e ssh --exclude-from 'excluded-utk.txt' 
/home/vitaly/ utk:/home/vitaly


from excluded-utk.txt file:

+ .mozilla-thunderbird/
+ .mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/
+ .mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/abook.mab
+ .mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/storage.sdb
- .mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/ImapMail
- .mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/Mail
- .mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/lock
- .mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/extensions
- lena
- data
- doctoral
- install
- local
- stuff
- temp
- web
- Hosts
- .*

The output is:

./
.mozilla-thunderbird/
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/10357267.s
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/abook.mab
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/blocklist.xml
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/files
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/junklog.html
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/localstore.rdf
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/panacea.dat
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/storage.sdb
.mozilla-thunderbird/afc5fv2p.default/training.dat
refs/computers/
refs/computers/excluded-utk.txt
refs/computers/excluded-utk.txt-def

No "storage.sdb" is transferred. Can you help me with figuring out why 
this is the case?

Thanks a lot,

Vitaly
