openrsync --exclude only works locally

hello everyone

wasn't sure this is intended behaviour of openrsync or "good enough"
for a bugreport to bugs@openbsd.org, thats why i first wanted to
mention it here

i am running -current and 'openrsync -r --exclude file' seems to
work for me running it locally. but as soon as i try it over ssh
it doesn't exclude anything and syncs the whole directory. i tried
the same command with rsync and it works without a problem over ssh

(using '--exclude-from=file' doesn't change the behaviour)

on another note related to openrsync: the manpage doesn't mention
how 'pattern' should look like in '--exclude pattern' or '--include
pattern'. wouldn't that be something that should be in the manpage?
