xcopy with "exclude" option

[klaus]

I can not figure out how to use the XCOPY command to
EXCLUDE files from being copied.
It either copies the files anyway, or it aborts the
command stream.
If you know how to make it work, PLEASE WRITE!
Here is an actual example:

e:\docs>xcopy e:\docs\*.* f:\archive\weekly03
\daily\*.* /exclude:e:\docs\quicken\backup /m /c /i /v
/r /y /s
Can't read file: e:\docs\quicken\backup
0 File(s) copied

e:\docs>dir e:\docs\quicken\backup1
Volume in drive E is WD160-DATA
Volume Serial Number is 68D4-EA2A

Directory of e:\docs\quicken\backup1

12/30/2003 09:05 AM <DIR> .
12/30/2003 09:05 AM <DIR> ..
