some folders being excluded?

[cscd98]

Inside my media folder I have CSS, downloadable folder etc. which is excluded from my rackspace CDN sync - why is this?

Here is my config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
  <!-- Sources -->
  <sources ignoredDirs="CVS:.git">
    <source name="media" scanPath="/var/www/vhosts/magento-capistrano-dev/current/media" />
    <source name="skin" scanPath="/var/www/vhosts/magento-capistrano-dev/current/skin" />
  </sources>

  <!-- Servers -->
  <servers>
    <server name="rackspace" transporter="cloudfiles">
      <username>username</username>
      <api_key>key</api_key>
      <container>MagentoEESync</container>
    </server>
  </servers>
