I try to remove the --exclude but it just break the whole thing. any help?

On the line that states inotifywait $RSYNC_PATTERNS $RSYNC_PARTIAL_EXCLUDE --exclude "$OSYNC_DIR" -qq -r -e create -e modify -e delete -e move -e attrib --timeout "$MAX_WAIT" "$INITIATOR_SYNC_DIR" &
Could you try to remove $RSYNC_PATTERNS ?
If it doesn't work, also remove $RSYNC_PARTIAL_EXCLUDE

I don't have a FreeBSD to check right now. Does this work ?

@deajan inotify is a Linux extension. I'm pretty sure no other *NIX has it.

Nope, you may install it using pkg install inotify-tools
The main difference is that the BSD version doesn't take include and exclude arguments toghether.
