Follow-up Comment #2:

I have marked this 'ready for test' however, I would like someone to look at
the code that AZ spotted that just flat makes no sense.  At line 661 in
backends.py, (rsync delete) there is the following:
        for file in dont_delete_list:
                path = os.path.join (dir, file)
                to_delete.append (path)
                f = open (path, 'w')        <---create file
                print >>exclude, file
                f.close()                   <---close it
Why do we create an empty file that we're not going to delete?  I'm not
following the logic of this at all.
