Unforch, that (moving it to the global definition) wasn't exactly error free. I was forced to create the root directory the excludes file lives in on both clients, and copy the excludes file itself to the clients. There seems to be no mechanism to "pin" the excludes file to a location on the server. Have I missed that memo?
