rsync - May 2007 - files deleted without --delete option

Hello all,

I want to copy all files on the SRC side to the DST side without deleteing
any from the DST side. However, whenever I run rsync the files on the DST
side are deleted if they were deleted from the SRC side. What am I doing
wrong? 

I am running the following command:
=======================================================rsync -avz --progress
--force --delete-excluded --exclude-from=exclude.txt
myroot@192.168.1.2:/mnt/array1/ /mnt/harddisk3/
=======================================================
This is what is in my exclude file:
=======================================================debian:/home/jchaven/scripts#
cat exclude.txt
thumbs.db
Thumbs.db
Temp/
debian:/home/jchaven/scripts# 
=======================================================
Here is the result with a new file to synch on the SRC side:
=======================================================debian:/home/jchaven/scripts#
rsync -avz --progress --force
--delete-excluded --exclude-from=exclude.txt myroot@192.168.1.2:/mnt/array1/
/mnt/harddisk3/

       --delete-excluded
              In addition to deleting the files on the receiving side that are
              not  on  the  sending  side, this tells rsync to also delete any
              files on the receiving side that are excluded  (see  --exclude).
              See the FILTER RULES section for a way to make individual exclu-
              sions behave this way on the receiver, and for a way to  protect
              files  from  --delete-excluded.  See --delete (which is implied)
              for more details on file-deletion.

Note the "--delete (which is implied)" text...
