I asked the list about this problem:

>   INCLUDE "C:\Documents and Settings\...\*.*"

and got excellent advice from several people.  Now I got things to work,
and I would like to summarize my experiences:

1. EXCLUDE.DIR doesn't obey the bottom-up precedence, it will globally
   override any INCLUDE lines.

2. When you define clientoptions in the server, you need both single
   and double quotes when a Windows folder contains spaces, as someone
   else wrote on this list previously, for example:
     DEFINE CLIENTOPT windowsopt INCLEXCL 'include "*:\Documents and 
Settings\...\*"' seq=20
   Note that '' is needed to protect the command argument, and that ""
   is needed to protect the folder name containing spaces.

My CLIENTOPT for Windows XP clients now roughly looks like this,
as shown by QUERY CLOPTSET on the server:

exclude *:\...\*
include "*:\Documents and Settings\...\*"
exclude.dir *:\Windows
exclude.dir "*:\Program Files"
