Look at the --include-from and --exclude-from options in the rsync man
page and then read the section further down that explains the format
for include/exclude files. Generally, you can use the --exclude-from
option to set up both includes and excludes by using + and - notation
in your pattern file.
So your pattern file might be something like:
+ /dir1
+ /dir2
+ /dir3

You'll have to play with it some. I use this technique to do a
selective rsync of the CentOS repository for local yum access.
Although, there's no reason the ' for i in /dir1 /dir2 /dir3'
shouldn't work. Start debugging your script without the loop, just
rsync /dir1 and get that working, then add more.
