Dependency exclusions being ignored

[Jason Tesser]

I have the following POM http://pastebin.com/P4TvzqJn but my exclusion for
<artifactId>abdera-client</artifactId> are not being respected.  Actually
only 2 of them are not
the 2 not working are maven-plugins and maven-plugins
they are coming down anyways
see http://pastebin.com/c59HM8Bj
what am I missing
I have altered the POM but I cleared my local cache and refreshed
dependencies
