Include-exclude statements for networked file systems

Include-exclude statements that involve networked file systems (remote drives) must be written in the UNC format.

In the following example Z: is a mapped drive to a remote file system on vista.example.com.

The old format would be to exclude \dir\dir2 on the remote file system, as in this example:

  EXCLUDE.DIR "Z:\dir1\dir2"

Here is an example of the new format using UNC:

  EXCLUDE.DIR "\\vista.example.com\d$\dir1\dir2"

The include-exclude statements written in the old format will not be recognized by the client.
