How about this:

EXCLUDE.DIR C:\*
INCLUDE C:\TEST\...\*

The only change is the addition of the terminal asterisk to the
first line.  This will not exclude the root directory on C:, but
only its children.  The second line will pickup child C:\TEST\.
I don't think you need the "...\*" part of the string, but I would
want to verify that with testing.
