Hi David, The first thing you should try, IMHO, is specifying excludes="**/*" on your fileset going on the theory that any include pattern other than **/* should be more specific than the exclude pattern and thus override it. I don't 100% guarantee this to work and don't have even the paltry amount of time it would take to test it before suggesting it, but I urge you to give it a try.
