I am trying to run the following line of code from the terminal and the rysnc works properly, however, as you can see by the relevant console output, it is not excluding the files I am wanting it to. Is there something that I am doing wrong in my syntax?
Input Command:
rsync -va --exclude="Frisnuk/((plugins/dynmap.*)|(orebfuscator_cache.*))" --force Frisnuk .backups/07.25.2013-13:05/MinecraftServer/Frisnuk
Console Output:

Edit: As suggested by rsync --exclude not excluding specific files, I made the exclusion relative to the source, however, that also failed:
rsync -va --exclude="((plugins/dynmap.*)|(orebfuscator_cache.*))" --force Frisnuk .backups/07.27.2013-02:30/MinecraftServer/Frisnuk
A rsync filter rule is not a not regexp, try this:
rsync -va --exclude='Frisnuk/plugins/dynmap/**' --exclude='Frisnuk/orebfuscator_cache/**' ...
