Try

exclude.dir /rxv001
exclude.dir /rxv002
exclude.dir /rxv003

etc.

You can't use wildcard characters for the exclude.dir directive
because you are not only saying "do not backup this directory"
you are also saying "do not even inspect anything *below* this
directory", thus it is contradictory to say

"exclude.dir /rxv001/.../*"

because it is aking to saying "look at every subdirectory of the
/rxv001 directory, and don't backup or examine anything
underneath each subdirectory".

For the exclude.dir directive you need to specify a single,
top-level directory, below which ADSM will not even examine, let
alone backup.
