rsync - Aug 2003 - How to synch entire dir???

I hope someone can answer this.  I saw another post about this but it
had no answer.

How do you exclude entire dirs???
I have RTFM, RTF FAQ, RTF Mailing List Archives, and still I can't
figure it out.  ugh.

I am using this:

rsync -avz -e ssh --exclude=/Stuff /home/user/Data/Docs/
remotePC:/home/user/Data/Docs/

but "Stuff" is always synched.   The actual path to "Stuff"
is:

/home/user/Data/Docs/Stuff

I have tried:
--exclude "/Stuff/"
--exclude "/Stuff"
--exclude "/home/user/Data/Docs/Stuff/"
--exclude=/Stuff
--exclude=/Stuff/
--exclude=/Stuff/*
--exclude=/home/user/Data/Docs/Stuff

etc, etc.

I really need to know how to do this.... thanks in advance!!!

That looks correct.  If you add an extra -v rsync will show
the patnames as they match the exclude patterns.
