Have you considered using the -x (or -X) option?  In general, we prefer to use 
these when they work because otherwise we'd have to duplicate all of the 
(thousands?) of rsync command-line options.  Thanks.

No problem.  Let me know if you can think of any way to make this option more 
visible.  It seems to be a common need, and I've tried adding some examples to 
the man page, but I think it's not quite enough.

Thanks for your participation with pssh.

It was an oversight on my part. I didn't read the examples thoroughly.

Thanks for the quick response.

Great program by the way. Sure speed things up for us.
