Yes there was a bug when you used /RS/L with exclusions and
the excluded directory is empty and the excluded directory
used a trailing \. There was a thread on this a while ago
but I can't find it now.

Kan has quietly (read undocumented) fixed the bug in the
beta ver 2.85.9b but it still exists in 2.85.8. There's a
number of simple work arounds including not using a
trailing \ and not using /rsy when using /L (or use /rs0
on the command line to cancel the /rsy in the command file).

When you remove the /L and use /ed, the empty directories
are preserved correctly even with ver 2.85.8.

I'm not sure about your reference to DPE.DUS being copied
since no files will be copied with the /rsy command.
