Shame on me, it does NOT work, at least not on my test-machine right
here.

I just set up a little test-scenario trying to backup a WinXP-Share
excluding stuff like \RECYCLER and a directory named \Downloads.

The exclude line for \Downloads came first, so it was overridden by
the following exclude for \RECYCLER. Consequently \Downloads was not
excluded.

Maybe try the smbmount ...
Sorry.
