I'm not sure what the difference between the first example and the second example is supposed to be?

I don't see how that would address my needs, but I'm not sure what the double ** symbols represent?  But there is no extra directories between the "das" and the "htdocs" directories in my use case.

Maybe this representation would be clearer.

/export
   /home
      /excluded_A
      /em
         /exclude_em-1
         /htdocs
            /exclude_em_htdocs-1
            /exclude_em_htdocs-2
            /docs
         /exclude_em-2
      /exclude_C
      /enf
         /exclude_enf-1
         /htdocs
            /exclude_enf_htdocs-1
            /exclude_enf_htdocs-2
            /docs
         /exclude_enf-2
      /exclude_E
      /das
         /exclude_das-1
         /htdocs
            /exclude_das_htdocs-1
            /exclude_das_htdocs-2
            /docs
         /exclude_das-2

I want to mirror the following directories from the above example and exclude everything else.
/export/home/em/htdocs/docs/*
/export/home/enf/htdocs/docs/*
/export/home/das/htdocs/docs/*
(And seven more similar directories)

I just tried this filter file somewhat based on your previous suggestion but it excluded everything.
+ das/htdocs/docs/*
+ em/htdocs/docs/*
+ enf/htdocs/docs/*
+ internal/htdocs/docs/*
+ itb/htdocs/docs/*
+ medtox/htdocs/docs/*
+ pml/htdocs/docs/*
+ psb/htdocs/docs/*
+ reg/htdocs/docs/*
+ whs/htdocs/docs/*

- /*

TIA
