Thanks to prompting by Mike, I've changed the way excludes are handled 
and it works :-)

OLD version:
# Good rsync options for uhuru_backups.
     rsync_opts="-av --delete --delete-excluded"

<snip>

# A list of files and directories that do not need to be backed up
  exclude_list="music funstuff cma/TransitStuff lost+found/"
      excludes=""
      for exclude in $exclude_list; do
      excludes="$excludes --exclude=$exclude"

WORKING version:
# Good rsync options for uhuru_backups.
     rsync_opts="-av --exclude-from=exclude_list --delete --delete-excluded"

The exclude_list is a file with one excluded directory per line with an 
asterisk at the end directory name.

Regards

Clive
