Dan,
Try changing your include file to look like this:
# secrethost-cron
+ /
+ /var
+ /var/spool
+ /var/spool/cron
+ /var/spool/cron/*
- /var/spool/*
- /var/*
- /*
Note the lack of trailing slashes on the directories. It should not need
the --delete-excluded option. I believe the include/exclude algorithm
compares the names as before it decides if they are directories.

When in doubt, parenthesize. At the very least it will let some
poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi.
