OK.  The file open mode in tar is defaulting to binary, so the CRLF line endings
are not being converted to LF.  When tar reads the exclude-from file it gets
the CR characters in the pattern, and so the patterns don't match.

The fix lies in the function add_exclude_file() in exclude.c.  At the call to
fopen(), set the mode  parameter to "rt" rather than "r".

Alternatively, create the exclude-from file with an editor that supports *nix
line endings.

Regards,
Pete A.
