Excluding directiries and files with special characters

If you want to exclude a directory and all of its contents you need a different syntax.

So I think something like this should work in your --exclude-from file

$RECYCLE.BIN/**
\#recycle/**
@eaDir/**

Note that #recycle needed a \ before the # as # is the comment character.
