If you change your --exclude to be the full file path, or a glob that would match the full file path, your command should work, e.g. --exclude "/tmp/test/Исключить UTF8 to exclude".

I have done some work on Unicode and foreign script support in the 0.8-series (not yet released), so that gives a more helpful error message (though on reflection even that could be clearer).

The way you have written your exclude actually seems quite sensible, so I will give some more thought to whether we should support relative excludes as you have done.

I hope that helps.

Kind regards,

Aaron
