I'm having trouble excluding iPhoto from a zip backup

[John Greer]

I'm backing-up my son's MacBook Pro and I've been able to zip all of his data, but the resulting zip file is very, very large. I'd like to exclude iPhoto from the backup, but cannot figure out the correct sequence of characters to get the exclude to work. The beginning part of the command works: zip -r -v -9 Backups/KevDocs00 Pictures/*

It's the extra piece of the command I cannot figure out. I've tried:

1. -x”*/Pictures/iPhoto Library/”
2. -x"/Pictures/iPhoto Library/*”
3. -x"Pictures/iPhoto Library/*”
4. -x”*/Users/username/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/”
5. -x”*/\Users/username/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/”
6. -x”/Users/username/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/*”
7. -x”*/\Users/username/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/”

HELP!
