If you mean the logic of multiple excludes, they were passed as a file
containing the list (as per exclude list or exclude append) and the
script converted the list into command line args.  Something like:

   ExcludeListFile=$???         # some cmd line arg
   ExcludeList=

   for Next in $ExcludeListFile
   do
        ExcludeList="$ExcludeList $Next"
   done

Then $ExcludeList was used on the real smbclient command line after
the "X" option, I think as the last args on the cmd line.
