When I try to specify multiple --exclude-dir  clamscan only uses the last one.

Examples below.  Need a way to exclude both dir1 and dir2


clamscan -r
/root/clamtest/dir1/dir1a/test.file: Empty file
/root/clamtest/dir1/test.file: Empty file
/root/clamtest/dir2/test.file: Empty file
/root/clamtest/dir3/test.file: Empty file

clamscan -r --exclude-dir=/root/clamtest/dir1
/root/clamtest/dir1: Excluded
/root/clamtest/dir2/test.file: Empty file
/root/clamtest/dir3/test.file: Empty file

clamscan -r --exclude-dir=/root/clamtest/dir1 --exclude-dir=/root/clamtest/dir2
/root/clamtest/dir1/dir1a/test.file: Empty file
/root/clamtest/dir1/test.file: Empty file
/root/clamtest/dir2: Excluded
/root/clamtest/dir3/test.file: Empty file

man clamscan says:

--exclude=PATT, --exclude-dir=PATT
        Don't scan file/directory names containing PATT. It may be used 
multiple times.
