I can't get it to work for include/exclude either, even when I changed the
option to inclexcl.  Here's one entry in my clientoptset, yet it still gets
backed up.  Is there something else that needs to be done to use it?

         Option: INCLEXCL
Sequence number: 15
       Override: No
   Option Value: exclude /.../core
