rsync -rtvogpclz --exclude-from=/home/karl/bin/exclude-list /
/media/disk-1/rsync/

In this rsync setup the excluded directories are in 
/home/karl/bin/exclude-list. This looks like:

/proc/*
/sys/*
/dev/*
/lost+found/*
/var/log/lastlog/*
/tmp/*
/mnt/*
/cdrom/*
/media/*

and the place I want to put the backup is on a USB hard drive 
at /media/disk-1/rsync.

Most of this is from the fedora list you showed me. It runs 
but it sends NOTHING to the USB Hard Drive. What am I missing?
