Bump? Still looking for any way to modify the USB Sync script to only sync saves. I ended up trying to modify the 01_retropie_copyroms file, but it hangs up on my script.
What I did was add --exclude '*.xxx" for all the rom files on the ROM/BIOS sync line, and swap the source and destination in the rsync command so it now reads the USB path first, and retropie second. Finally, I tried removing the usermod line, since I'm syncing the filed FROM the pi to USB.
The script still automounts the USB, and created the file structure (rsync maxdepth=1) but it fails to fill the directory with the save games.
Still new to scripting (This device is a learning tool) What have I missed?

I don't use forums either apparently, because I can't find a way to use that nifty box that allows me to add code. the --exclude DOES have a *.xxx, but it doesn't show up.
