>>From this FAQ regarding subject:

It got me closer, I've reduced the number of errors down pretty well.  But it's far from intuitive.  For example, to skip these files:
NTUSER.DAT 
ntuser.dat.LOG1
ntuser.dat.LOG2
UsrClass.dat
UsrClass.dat.LOG1
UsrClass.dat.LOG2


the entries that (finally) worked are (on the CGI page is):
*NTUSER.DAT
*ntuser.dat.LOG?
*UsrClass.dat
*UserClass.dat.LOG?

using any form of just the filename didn't work - prepending a wildcard is what finally got me over that hump.  Also, filenames are case sensitive.

I was also able to successfully skip a set of user profile directories (TestUser1, TestUser2, ...) like this:
*\TestUser?

But still, I have not found how to skip JUNCTION directories.  I've tried:
\Users\*\My Music\*
*\My Music\*

HOW CAN WE INCLUDE KNOWN JUNCTIONS IN BackupFilesExclude LIST?!?!?!  If I can get this final piece to work, I will have near 0 errors on my Windows SMB backups.

(I'm aware that I can avoid some of these problems using rSync backup, but I need to get SMB working none-the-less).

PLEASE, PLEASE, somebody fill me in on the secret?!
