Subject  :  Exclude file not working
Size(KB) :  3



I can't get an exclude file to work. 
Please could you advise where I am going wrong.

My batch file reads as follows:

d:
cd \backup
md daily
cd daily
xxcopy "c:\Documents and Settings\*.*" "Documents and Settings\"
/BN/C/S/H/R/Y/Q1/FF /EX"C:\Documents and Settings\R\My
Documents\Data\Backup\routines\exclude xxcopy.txt" /on"C:\Documents
and Settings\R\My Documents\Data\Backup\log\dailydocs.log"

the file "exclude xxcopy.txt" contains (some more have been missed out
here for brevity):
ntuser*
usrclass*
desktop.ini
R\cookies\*\*
R\recent\*\*
R\Local Settings\history\*\*
R\Local Settings\Temp\*\*
R\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*\*
R\Application Data\Arcsoft\*\*
R\Application Data\Sun\*\*
R\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\1ovwlfk8.default\Cache\*\*
R\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\1ovwlfk8.default\Cache.Trash\*\*
All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*\*
default user\*\*

The log file is as follows

Looking at the destination, the first 3 items in the exclude list have
not been copied (i.e. the simple filespec without a directory spec)
but the directories I have tried to exclude still get copied.
