I agree with the prior statements that "*" only works for
a file wildcard, and not as a directory wildcard.  You
must use "/.../" for the directory wildcard.

I also agree that I don't understand the trailing "*" at
the end of various lines.

THE NEW QUESTION IS: (drumroll) Why is there a space
between "EXCLUDE" and ".FILE" in the last two lines?
I thought that directive was "EXCLUDE.FILE"

ALSO NEW: In all the documentation I've seen, drive letters
are wildcarded with a query: "?", like this:

EXCLUDE.FILE      NS_IAA_SDEDOV\?:\...\AFTN.LDB

Hope this helps,
