Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone --version
rclone v1.74.2
os/version: linuxmint 22 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.8.0-111-generic (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.26.3
go/linking: static
go/tags: none

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone sync 1fichier:/ phydisk:/media/sanyika/bck0021/ --exclude=/film/** --exclude=/dupe_*/** --exclude=/7ajgu8at7utsa20oct2eiiaon8/ --transfers=2 --checkers=4 --modify-window=5s --track-renames --no-update-modtime --fast-list --order-by size,desc -v

you can see from the log, files in folder 7ajgu8at7utsa20oct2eiiaon8 are synced, while its in exclude.

Why?

hi,

just wanted to point out that ficher does not support ListR, so does not support --fast-list

please, need to post the DEBUG log, where rclone states the exact reason for copying the file
and the exact command that was executed.

for testing use, --dry-run

maybe it is just my web browser or the way the forum formats it.
that file path looks like there might be a leading space character and has a bold font type.
also, the only --exclude not use a trailing /**
