The order of the File declarations relative to the Options declarations
doesn't matter. However, the order of the Options declarations relative to
each other does matter (Bacula uses the first Options that matches based on
RegexDir etc).
The problem below is that you are using RegexDir instead of Regex in the
Exclude Options clause.
