When the backup command is executed (e.g. SmbClientFullCmd) how is the $fileList variable generated - what process it retrieving the Exclusions list for the named share?

I thought that by having a BackupFilesExclude key of ' * ' was additive to the defined SmbShareName.  That is, I could create a * key of all common files to exclude, and a key name of C$ that would define exclusions for the SmbShareName "C$", and the resulting $fileList would be the combination of * exclusions *AND*  C$ exclusions.  I discovered that is not the case - instead the * exclusions would be applied if the defined SmbShareName isn't otherwise defined as a BackupFilesExclude key.

I was hoping I could do something that would generate the $fileList to combine both.
