Here are some Q&A's that talk to the alternative:

How to delete directories based on find output?

How to remove folders with a certain name

find + delete files that contain “.”

And between them I believe my best option for the immediate problem is to remove them from the original drive by executing this in the directory that contains the full backups of the other systems:

cd /mnt/full
sudo rm -rf `sudo find -type d -name '.Trash-1000'`

Search and destroy, hoo-rah! Yes it will take a long time but will make for faster rsync backups in the future.

This does not solve the rsync bug, though.

If anybody has an answer that will make rsync delete directories that I later add to the --exclude list, then that would be the answer I will gladly accept.

It worked and will make future rsync work faster in the future.
