thanks -- when i saw those in my excludes list last night just before
posting i though "hmmm.  i'll bet i don't need those".  i think they're
left over from before i added --one-file-system.  (which was probably
12 or 13 years ago.)  i also noticed i'm not using RsyncExtraArgs, which
would be cleaner and safer.
