 Which version of dsmnotes do you have? With v2r1m8 exclude doesn't work.
 If you get the right syntax in your exclude list, you get error messages
about
 wrong conversation sequences and the backup skips the rest of the DBses.
 Seems like dsmnotes tries to bind the managementclass and gets an
returnCode
 about excluded documents, so it skips to the next database, but goes on
with
 the same ADSM-Session. Looks like nobody ever tried this (even the
programmer).

 With version 3 dsmnotes seems to handle the returnCode right.

 The syntax for exclude is something like:

       EXCLUDE                  ?:\$NOTESDIR\log.nsf\*\*
