+Hi Johnny,
+Sorry for delay - I missed the post.
+It's your syntax.
+This works using your excludes with the syntax in line 20 of this new 
+script.

+
+I fixed another bug and changed it slightly to better display rsync 
+errors in the log.
+I have not seen any problems recently and it's running every hour. It 
+currently keeps a filecount history log as well, but that's just for 
+interest and testing.
+
+The problem with your syntax seems to be related to the {} - I don't 
+fully understand why, but it causes a pair of ' to be wrapped around the 
+--exclude option in the final rsync command :
+
+rsync -rlptgoDhHSn --stats --delete-after --delete-excluded 
+--protect-args '--exclude={debug/,backports_testing,updates_testing/}' 
+rsync://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr:/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib 
+/zmrepo/pub/linux/Mageia/
+
+With my syntax it appears like this:-
+
+rsync -rlptgoDhHSn --progress --stats --delete-after --max-delete=1000 
+--delete-excluded --protect-args --exclude=debug 
+--exclude=backports_testing --exclude=updates_testing 
+rsync://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr:/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib 
+/zmrepo/pub/linux/Mageia/
+
+Regards
