lsyncd does not allow to exclude directories

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
======================================

I just wanted to exclude a complete subdirectory as it is written in
"Lsyncd usage examples"



What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
=====================================================

# lsyncd --no-daemon --exclude-from <subdir> <original> <remote
host>:<replique>
Wed Aug 26 17:10:26 2009: command line options: syncing <original> ->
<remote host>:<replique>

Wed Aug 26 17:10:26 2009: ERROR: Reading file '<subdir>' (21:Is a directory)

This implies that lsyncs has a problem excluding a directory. Excluding
files does work.



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
====================================================================

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 5.3 (Final)

# rsync --version
rsync  version 2.6.8  protocol version 29

# lsyncd --version
Version: 1.25

Hi,

Maybe look at the rsync filter options.

They are very tricky to get right, but give you great way of handeling exclude 
stuff.

Kind regards,
