Well, those excludes are just for Emacs backup files. You'd want:

rsync -av --exclude '*.lease' ...

The problem with your command is almost certainly that you used
double-quotes, which meant that the shell will expand the *, thus
rsync cannot glob. Simply using single quotes instead or escaping the
* should sort it.
