Because

/opt/backup/stage/other

backs up the directory entry itself, but not its contents.

/opt/backup/stage/other/*

backs up the directory entry and contents but not subdirectories.

/opt/backup/stage/other/**

backs up the directory and all contents, including subdirectories.

Do "man rsync" and check out the section "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES".

Cheers,
