I won't disagree with you there!

As I understand it, the variable $fileList is created based on the
includes and excludes or more specifically based on BackupFilesOnly or
BackupFilesExclude.

TarFullArgs is set to $fileList and 
TarIncrArgs is set to --newer=$incrDate $fileList 

and so you won't see a --exclude switch in the log. 

Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
