I note that you referred to an exclusion file named "exclude xxcopy.txt"
but then you include a long exclusion list which includes "xxcopy.txt".
Did you mean to do that? I'm a little confused. If you mean to use the
exclusion file I think you should simply use: /exc: "\exclude xxcopy.txt". If you rename the exclusion file to eliminate
the space you won't need the quotes.
