I do not use those programs, so I couldn't say if that would exclude _all_
their related file. However, like this you would definitely not exclude the
personal settings found in ~/.<dirname> ans ~/..<filename>

Well, for starters I'd recommend reading man rsync and especially the section
on filter rules. Then you would have known that a single space between the rule
(and optionally modifier) and the pattern is required.
