Yes, I was.

Sorry for this stupid mistake.

Meanwhile I have implemented what I required with:

  (cd $THE_DEST && find . \( -path ./scratch/news/archive -prune \) -o \( -path 
./scratch/news/articles -prune \) -o -print0 | cpio --quiet --link -0 -pd 
$THE_DEST_LINK)

aka a cp -al with excludes

Thank you for your prompt response.
