[lug] exclude one file rsync

[dio2002 at indra.com]

fwiw, i was trying to do some filtering with tar recently and it was a
royal pita.  i can't remember the details but i spent all day trying to
configure a multiple exclude, but in the end the man pages never seemed to
work as advertised.  iirc, the exclude filters in rsync can be kind of
tricky too.  know it's not much help just thought i'd add that this can be
confusing and maybe even inaccurate.
