D'oh. I forgot to reference the post from -users. Look for a post from
"Mike Ruskai" with a subject of "Paths for Windows file daemons". The
contents here:

"
Exclude = "E:/path/directory" = ignored
Exclude = "e:/path/directory" = respected

I have never been a fan of case-sensitive file systems.  There's no good

reason to have them, and plenty of good reasons to not have them.

But the fact is, Windows is case-preservative, not case-sensitive.

Shouldn't Bacula, since it wants to support Windows, be able to function

without case-sensitivity?

Ignoring that, at least the documentation should be updated to use 
lower-case drive letters, since upper-case ones don't work.
