rsync - Mar 2002 - include exclude help please.

hi.
  I know this is a big topic on the list, please forgive me.

rsync -avv --include "/film/jonah/**/sourceimages/*.tif" --exclude
"*" /film /tmp

i'm trying to copy all *.tif 's that are in a  */sourceimages/ directory
and that are only under /film/jonah.

i would like to copy the directory tree and tif files to /tmp

i was able to copy ever tif with:

rsync -a --include "*/" --include "*.tif" --exclude
"*" /film/ /tmp/film

but i would really like to narrow it down to just
the tif files in any sourceimages directory.

any help wold be appreciated.

thanks,
joe

Joe:  relative to /film, there is no film/,, so to get things starting at 
jonah under /film, you name it as '/jonah', like so:
rsync -avv --include "/jonah/**/sourceimages/*.tif" --exclude
"*" /film
/tmp

I still haven't seen The Fellowship of the Ring, but I'm planning on 
camping out overnight to get tickets to "Johah".

Tim,
 thanks for the help...but, it still isn't working.
any more ideas?

I have tried:

rsync -avv --include "/film/jonah/**/sourceimages/*.tif" --exclude
"*"
/film /tmp
rsync -avv --include "/film/jonah/*/sourceimages/*.tif" --exclude
"*"
/film /tmp

My mistake.  I never use the patterns in my application, so i forgot one 
of the gotchas in the doc.
