Normally you would only use the sharenames as the starting points of what you 
want to back up and it defaults to including everything.  It doesn't make much 
sense to tell the client to walk the whole directory tree when you only want a 
specific directory.  But the way it is used depends somewhat on the xfer 
method. 
  If you use rsyncd (or smb), it has to match a module configured on the 
client, 
while it can be any directory with rsync or tar.  Also, I think some of the 
xfer 
methods can't handle both include and exclude lists.
