Sorry about that, I accidentally pressed enter when creating the issue.

When I specify a "protect" rule on the command line, all works
smoothly. I.e.

    rsync --filter "P myfile.db" -POuhimrtyz --delete -n . user at
host:~

But when I specify it in a file (e.g. .rsync-filter):

P myfile.db

    rsync -F -POuhimrtyz --delete -n . user at host:~

No success.

Thanks!

The filter file needs to be on the destination server in order to affect an
incremental delete.  If the destination may not have its filter files
up-to-date (and you don't want to do a transfer of just the filter files
first,
before the main content), then use --delete-after.
