Rsync defined directory
i want to copy with rsync a specified (sub)-directory and the according folders and files below. my test failed :

cd /dir
/usr/bin/rsync -ravz -e ssh --include='*/' --include='*/00/*/*' --exclude='*' . remote_host:/tmp

i want to copy in these example the directory "00" and the according folders and files below.

the structure of the directories are :

000001
000001/00
000001/00/dir1
000001/00/dir1/file1
000001/00/dir1/file2
000001/00/dir2
000002
000002/00
000002/00/dir1
000002/00/dir1/file1
000002/00/dir1/file2
000002/00/dir2
