rsync issues

[James Mcphee]

An rsync "module" is a defined virtual target in the rsyncd config as
explained in http://transamrit.net/docs/rsync/ which gives you greater
control of resources you open up to be rsync'd.

The exclude-from option gives certain files you can prevent from synching,
while the exclude option is a pattern you can match.  The opposite of which
are include-from and include, respectively.
