I ran into this problem after an update of Rsync yesterday. (to
v2.6.3pre1). It looks like it was the --exclude option, as removing
that fixed the problem.

I have created an entry in bugzilla.samba.org here:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1660

There is a security hole in rsync 2.6.2 which is why I got updated to
2.6.3pre1, so hopefully they'll fix this soon. In the meantime I have
downgraded back to 2.6.2.
