Both these seem to be working fine here.

I'm assuming you're posting because the excludes aren't working. Is it  
only in PVR mode you're having these problems?

I advise against editing PVR config files - if that's what you're  
doing - and using --pvradd instead.

I'm really sorry if I've misunderstood your question.
