   The /EXCLUDE switch doesn't support long file name. The file path syntax   
   which contains double quote characters.   
      
   I'm guessing that Microsoft doesn't even bother to update it.   
   It's still like that even in the latest Windows 10 build.   
      
   I suggest replacing the space with underscore or dash character, from the   
   exclude list file name. Or just remove it.
