Here is the rsync scrip that i have been running

#! /bin/sh
#This script is to sync /home/midgett/ with outside backup machine
echo "Syncing drive personal directory"
rsync -e ssh -avz --delete --progress /home/mmidgett/ root@midgettsvr:/home/midgett/mmidgett/

I need to have this skip .ISO files. How do I do this?

Just use --exclude:
--exclude "*.ISO"

For more info usage, see the man page:
man rsync
