Because the format of an exclude file is in relative terms?

The entry in the exclude file should have read:
./delete_now

IIRC this should keep any directory or file so named from being 
backed up from a disklist dumptype entry that specifies that 
particular exclude file, and do so regardless of where in that 
directory tree this named file or dir might be located.
Thats how I understand it, the real experts are free to correct me.
