Wow... This thread generated lots of comments for an exclude! :)

Yes this is relative to /home thus resulting in exclusion for the 
/home/usersHomeDir/.gvfs directory for my Ubuntu hosts.

Here is one of my rsync log extracts for /home so it's clear:

incr backup started back to 2010-05-05 02:00:01 (backup #35) for directory /home
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backupuid uhost103 /usr/bin/rsync --server 
--sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times 
--block-size=2048 --recursive . /home/
Xfer PIDs are now 27406
Got remote protocol 30
Negotiated protocol version 28
Sent exclude: lost+found
Sent exclude: aquota
Sent exclude: Trash
Sent exclude: */Pictures
Sent exclude: **/tmp/*
Sent exclude: */*cache*
Sent exclude: */*Cache*
Sent exclude: Cache/*
Sent exclude: cache/*
Sent exclude: */#SharedObjects/*
Sent exclude: */.thumb*
Sent exclude: */.gvfs
Sent exclude: *.iso
Sent exclude: *.img


NOTE: Before I get spammed or chastised for the multiple Cache 
entries... this is to keep the exclude global variables as simple as 
possible for Windows & Linux hosts using rsync or rsyncd so I don't have 
multiple configs/templates.
