Thanks. Actually, this situation was just a one-off after buying a new internal hard-drive and having to send my computer back to Apple for repairs.
I guess then the engine doesn't use rsync because when I did a test like this:
Code:
sudo rsync -avE --delete --exclude '/Test/Ignore/*' /Test /Volumes/Target
stuff inside /Volumes/Target/Test/Ignore were not deleted.
