rsync

I try command

rsync -v --include-from=/path/to/list.lst /home/user /path/to/backup

list.lst contains for example

.gnupg/

.pki/

.gnome2/keyrings/

.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarkbackups/

.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarks.html

.mozilla/firefox/.default/.db

.mozilla/firefox/.default/.sqlite

and i get error on all strings with * "failed: No such file or directory"

When i use --files-from for this, i get error too. Can anybody help me use wildcards for this?
