Rsync supports precisely what you want: place the following item into 
your RsyncArgs argument list (the name .rsyncPerDirFilter is just a name 
choosen for this example - but the space between the : and the name is 
mandatory, possibly needs to be backslashed).

--filter=: .rsyncPerDirFilter

In each directory where a user wants files to be excluded, he can create 
a file of that name, with a content like

- suchafile
- /suchafile*
- /suchadir/***

to exclude all files/directories that match one of the patterns (be 
carefull, rsync reads these lines one after the other and triggers on 
the first match it finds - later matches are not seen, even if they 
would be more restrictive). Have a look at the "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN 
RULES" in the rsync man page.

I found this slightly dangerous - you introduce a filter file and than 
forget about it or dont tell about it ...
