rsync - Mar 2005 - Rsync to upload certain files and ignore others

I have tried this
rsync -rav -e ssh --include='*.gpg' --exclude='*'
\Backup\%count%\
testuser@xx.xx.xxx.xx:\%count%\

and I have also tried to use an include-from file with this 
- *
+ *.gpg

but neither will build a file list to upload...if I use an -*.gpg it will
skip those files but that is opposite of what I want to do..I want to ignore
ALL files except *.gpg files...this is on WinBlows, but the syntax should be
the same for the most part....any suggestions...

You can exclude all files except *.gpg files from the transfer (using
--include='*.gpg' --exclude='*'), but there is no way to limit
what
files get backed up -- all updated files are backed up when --backup is
specified.

Are there subdirectories involved?  The man page talks about how you
need to specify --include='*/' in that situation (check it out for full
details).
