Ok, I reread the section "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES" of the rsync
man page in hope to grasp the patterns.
There it says:
"
a trailing "dir_name/***" will match both the directory (as if
"dir_name/" had been specified) and everything in the directory (as
if "dir_name/**" had been specified). This behavior was added in
version 2.6.7.
"
So, to my understanding tmp/*** (and all the other dirs accordingly)
should be the correct pattern.

I need the later case, tmp in the home dirs.
Thanks for pointing to the importance of the trailing slash!
Maybe I changed more that I am willing to admit to myself and even
worse: this wasn't part of config. management /version control
-- really bad.
