[wplug] rsync exclude syntax

[Larry Daberko]

Arnaud,

On Ubuntu, I created this dir:

drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 Apr  6 00:27 .HFS+ Private Directory Data?

and this command works, skipping the HFS dir:

rsync -a --delete --exclude "Backups.backupdb" --exclude "\.HFS+\ 
Private\ Directory\ Data\?" <source> <destination>

-Larry
