I've been able to reproduce the bug. The bad news is that your fix does not work. The folder you marked for exclusion is probably not excluded at all, since the ' is interpreted as part of the glob expression (at least by smd-pull). The bug is clearly a consequence of the escaping madness of the shell. The bits of smd written in shell script have grown too much, and it is time to rewrite them in a less error prone language. I think that the easiest workaround for you, if you want exclude the folder in question, is to revet your patch and replace & with %26 in the EXCLUDE_* glob expression (as you have to do with %20 for spaces).
