I don't have a chance to check (no rsync file or man page to check)
but:

Maybe in the rules you constructed first match wins. Once a match
happens no further rules are evaluated?

Otherwise you might go ask on an rsync list - I'd guess the folk there
wouldn't have to go look at the manpages.... It really is OT here.

Please reply to the list only. Due to the nicely open list (which I
heartily approve of) being archived with unmasked addresses, all mail
to the sender address is >/dev/null
