Are you sure about that? The doc says "However, one additional point is that
in the case that no match was found, Bacula will use the options found in the
last Options resource." so I think that will make it work.

The lack of any wildcards will not cause a problem.

This Exclude clause looks wrong to me, because the File items will match
nothing. Don't you need
File = "*/.fsck"
to match .fsck anywhere?
