Newer versions of smbclient stop processing the rest of the directory when
an error is encountered.  Perhaps it is related to this.

See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10605

I did have the excludes working properly, but can't remember the exact
syntax.  In the end smbclient was just too unreliable unless using shadow
copies.  Every time an open file was encountered the backup stopped.
