rsync - Aug 2003 - --delete-excluded by default?

rsync is deleting all the files that match my exclude strings, but I
don't want this to happen and I am not using the --delete-excluded
option. Is this a known problem/feature? The files it is deleting DO
still exist on the sending server. 

Here is the command I'm using:
rsync -avzul --delete blue1-eth1::mod1 /home/.sites

and it is version 2.5.5-C1

Thanks,
-e.l.

There are no excluded files in that command, so there is nothing to omit
from the --delete.  You're probably referring to some exclusions
specified in the rsyncd.conf file, but those aren't actually exclusions.
They are totally ignored files (that causes files to be treated as if
they don't exist on the server).  If you don't want certain files to be
deleted, you have to specify them as actual --exclude options on the
command-line.

Thanks Wayne,

Yes, I'm using the "exclude from" option pointing to a file with a
list
of things not to copy.
The docs confused me. I guess it doesn't function as I expected.
