I found the reason that MCF job does not recognize the file name to exclude from crawling. You need to put a slash character follwoing by a file name.
I obtained a log below. This time I had a root directory, //xxxxx/SharePrjG2/xxxxx/sug/, then placed a file named as "phs.txt". In the job setting, I entered "phs.txt" to exclude the file from crawling, so the crawling rule became as follwoing: 1. Exclude file(s) matching phs.txt DEBUG 2012-09-12 09:56:35,829 (Worker thread '31') - JCIFS: Matching startpoint 'smb://xxxxx/SharePrjG2/xxxxx/sug/' against actual 'smb://xxxxx/SharePrjG2/xxxxx/sug/' DEBUG 2012-09-12 09:56:35,829 (Worker thread '31') - JCIFS: Startpoint found! DEBUG 2012-09-12 09:56:35,829 (Worker thread '31') - JCIFS: Checking 'phs.txt' against '/phs.txt' DEBUG 2012-09-12 09:56:35,829 (Worker thread '31') - JCIFS: No match! The third line above tells "phs.txt" does not match "/phs.txt". Well, I feel it is kind of hard for users to find out you need a slash. If this specification is going to be kept, I think it would be nice to specify this rule in the user documentation. Thanks for your help.
