Creating and using a /.rsync/exclude

Hello all,
Everyone has been awesome assisting with my rsync script... Now I want to clean it up. I think the best way for me to exclude many files might be to use a rsync exclude file.

So in my script I add
Quote:
--exclude-from=<path to file>
So now then, here is my .rsync/exclude...

Quote:
/home/<username>/Music/***
/home/<username>/.vmware
/home/<username>/vmware
/home/<username>/Virtual_Machines/***
So what is happening is the directories in the "exclude" file are still copying over so here are my questions...

1: Is the exclude file correct?
2: If not why?
3: If so, is the script entry right?
4: If not why?

Thank you for your help.
