Why wont this rsync exclude not work?

[Red Squirrel]

I have the following script:

echo "Syncing to AoV Prod:"
echo "---------------"
rsync -rv --checksum --exclude-from="syncexcludes_src.txt" "src/" "aovuser@aovdb.loc:/localdata/aov/aovprod/src/"
echo "---------------"
echo "Excluded these files from syncexcludes_src.txt:"
echo
echo "----"
cat syncexcludes_src.txt
echo "----"

The src folder is in the same folder as it and it is run from there.

In the syncexcludes_src.txt file I have the following:

localconfig/ 
runuo.exe

The runuo.exe file does not get copied over so that one works, but the localconfig folder does. WTF? Why is it ignoring that particular entry? Is there a way to make this work?


Edit: I meant to post this in Linux section, can it be moved? Thanks.
