Bruce,

Thanks! I actually ask not because of disk space concerns, but because rsync
occassionally reports that these files disappear out from under the running
rsync process, and so I was thinking I'd rather just exclude them if they are
not required as I want my pitrbasebackup script to return 0 if rsync is
successful.
