Whoops, so you did, sorry about that.  Samba can be weirdly touchy about
its excludes, and I recall there being some variation across samba client
versions.  You have this:

'*/Windows/UsrClass.dat*'

to exclude this (as an example)

\Julien Noé\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat

I believe it's the trailing star which is causing this file not to be
excluded -- I'd suggest trying this:

'*/Windows/UsrClass.dat'

If none of your excludes are working, then it might be the slashes instead:

'*\\Windows\\UsrClass.dat'
