When using multiple excludes only the last one is remembered, unless
you specify the "append" keyword to exclude like:

    exclude append "./pagefile.sys"

But!!!  When using samba to backup a Windows share, the
specification "GNUTAR" does in fact not use gnutar, but the built
in tar in smbclient.  And that one does not allow more than one
exclude statement.
