Thanks Kalin...

But still verbose on creating dirs...
Maybe I could use use your options and redirecting the output. In fact I tried already,
a couple of months ago, and dirs copy was still verbose...

What happens in output when you want to copy the actual files, over the new tree?

Thanks again, 
  
Bruno.

Is this what you need:
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir -p d1/D{2,3,4,5,6} d1/G{3,4}/F5
$ touch d1/D{2,3,4,5,6}/some_file d1/G{3,4}/F5/other d1/
$ touch d1/D{2,3,4,5,6}/some_file d1/G{3,4}/F5/other d1/D{2,3,4,5,6}/evenMORE
$ LC_ALL=C tree d1/

NB: order of include/exclude is important.
NB2: "-HavPS" may not be the best of options, I used it every time and
don't bother remembering what it means; works here

Cheers,
Kalin.
