Matthias - I do not use rsyncd on the client side.  Holger pointed out I 
was not putting the path in the exclude "key."  I was simply naming that 
something meaningful and then putting the path to the exclusion 
underneath the key.  I didn't understand that from reading the 
documentation.  Anyway thanks for your suggestions.
