Ian, I have a similar question. I'm using rsync for transfer and need to exclude a few windows directories such as system volume. I added the path to the directory as rsync sees it on the other end "/mnt/windows/system volume information" but it doesn't get excluded. I see a permission denied in the logs and the incremental updates take a long time to complete even if it doesn't copy a single file over. I've tried using backslashes before the spaces, question marks in place of the spaces, quotes, no quotes, spaces, no spaces, and nothing works. When I used to do rsync backups manually I used an exclude file with just "System Volume Information" and it worked. Any suggestions would be great.

I recently added a very large directory to the filesystem I'm backing up, which has many hundred thousand files inside it. I don't need to backup this directory, so I've added a BackupFilesExclude entry (i.e., /home/ username/directory) to my config. Sure enough, the directory is not being backed up -- that's good. The only problem is that since I've added this directory, backups are taking _very_ long; incrementals are taking 3 days, where they used to take 10 hours. So my guess is that the rsync is evaluating all of the directory's contents rather than excluding en masse.When I run a manual rsync command with --exclude=/home/username/ directory, the file list takes a relatively short time. I figure that the rsync module isn't as smart? Any insight would be certainly appreciated.
