James -

I'm not a Windows guru, but one thing apparent from your Exclude
specifications is that

   Exclude.dir "d:\MSSQL2000\MSSQL\Data\*.*"

doesn't make sense for what I perceive you are trying to achieve:
that's a filename pattern on the end, for legacy "8.3" filenames,
with a dot in them, whereas Exclude.Dir is supposed to simply name a
single directory or a wildcard-identified set of directories.
