Create the file with all you excludes and then loop through the list of
clients and run the bpsetconfig command on each client:

Clientlist:
        clienta
        clientb
        clientc

Exclude list:
        Exclude = c:\
        Exclude = d:\temp
        Exclude = pagefile.sys

The file will contain a list of _everything_ you want (80 lines will
work fine). It is also important to remember that this is a REPLACEMENT
of what is there. It does not append to the existing vaules. 

Your best bet is to set it up manually on one client and then get the
format using bpgetconfig. Just take that output of the Exclude = entries
and put it into your file for the bpsetconfig command.
