This issue should now be resolved.  File::RsyncP passes the exclude
arguments to the server/sender via ARGV, rather than via the socket
interface.  ARGV support for server/sender exclude arguments was
removed in rsync CVS, since it wasn't a supported feature.  But the
rsync developers recently re-added support at our request.  2.6.3pre1
does not include the fix, but the next release should have excludes
that work correctly.  See:

    https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1660

I'm also updating File::RsyncP to implement excludes in the correct
way, via the socket interface, rather than exploiting a non-supported
feature in rsync.
