Rsync already allows both --OPTION=ARG and --OPTION ARG for its options that
take args.  Your bigger problem is that the exclude files themselves aren't
parsed the same way by the two programs, though there may be some amount of
overlap.

Tnx & exsqueeze me, must have overlooked that in the man page.
W/r to different parsing of the exclude files by tar and rsync: I realize that
and in the way we've programmed our backup script, that doesn't matter:
although
we backup with -R, we use '/usr/local/blackboard/' (note heading and
trailing
slash) patterns, as it's matched against the transfer root.
