I don't see where the $excludes you built is actually used.

Thanks to prompting by Mike, I've changed the way excludes are handled
and it works :-)
OLD version:
# Good rsync options for uhuru_backups.
rsync_opts="-av --delete --delete-excluded"
<snip>
# A list of files and directories that do not need to be backed up
exclude_list="music funstuff cma/TransitStuff lost+found/"
excludes=""
for exclude in $exclude_list; do
excludes="$excludes --exclude=$exclude"
WORKING version:
# Good rsync options for uhuru_backups.
rsync_opts="-av --exclude-from=exclude_list --delete --delete-excluded"
The exclude_list is a file with one excluded directory per line with an
asterisk at the end directory name.

Clive
