Exclude doesn't work with rsyncssh

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

Here is my lsyncd.conf :

settings = {
  logfile = "/home/toto/log/lsyncd.log",
  statusFile = "/home/toto/log/lsyncd.status",
}

sync{
  default.rsyncssh,
  source = "/home/src/example",
  host = "192.168.1.100",
  targetdir = "/home/dest/example",
  exclude = {"//home/src/example/tmp/**"}
}

Launched with :

> lsyncd -nodaemon -log all etc/lsyncd.conf

I get :

Exclude: toLuaPattern '//home/src/example/tmp/**' = '^/home/src/example/tmp/.*"

So the pattern looks ok (although I'd suggest let people use real Lua regex 
patterns, it will make easier for everybody, and allow more possibilities. The 
translation from your pseudo patterns to Lua patterns is unnecessary in my 
opinion).

21:13:23 Function: Inotify.addWatch(/home/src/example/tmp/, (true), (nil), 
(nil))
21:13:23 Inotify: not concerning '/home/src/example/tmp/'

So pattern seems to work. But it is not used in the rsync command :

21:13:23 Exec: /usr/bin/rsync [--delete] [-r] [-lts] [/home/src/example/] 
[192.168.1.100:/home/dest/example/]

And I get many :

rsync: send_files failed to open "/home/src/example/tmp/sessions/sess_1234": 
Permission denied (13)

Although I told the conf to ignore this directory.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ?
Do i have to add something specific for the rsync command ? The -exclude-from 
doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Thanks in advance :)

I will look at this. Can you add the events in the log that raised this sync? 
Or is this the startup?

BTW: my "pseudo patterns" are modelled after the patterns described in the 
rsync manual.

I realized that, about the "pseudo patterns", sorry :)
Maybe the function that converts rsync patterns to Lua patterns needs some 
refinements, I am not sure.

These are errors at startup, when lsyncd is launched. It then stops probably 
because rsync raises these permission errors.

I guess the Lua function that build the rsync command is incomplete and doesn't 
build the --exclude correctly or at all ?

I suppose the guess is correct. I will look at it as soon I get to it.
