I was going to point you to that discussion. I've not used it (samba and I do not get along well) but the concept sounded solid. smbclient will take multiple files to exclude on the command line, but not a file argument listing files to exclude. So it was necessary to take the list and convert it into command line arguments. -- Jon H.
