Description
Issue 1: rclone uploads ~partial files (which are not ready yet) and I want rclone mount to "ignore" these files and NOT uploading them to the cloud
Issue 2: I want rclone to ignore whole directories to NOT upload to it's mount. ie, .grab directories that Plex DVR creates.
I've tried --exclude and couldn't get it to work as expect (or at all) rclone mount does not respect exclude parameters
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reading how rclone mount handles --exclude and decides which files and directories are uploaded. Compare the two requested cases: temporary partial files and excluded directories such as .grab. Done means mount behavior consistently prevents those entries from being uploaded while preserving normal uploads.
