Research direction

Start at backblaze_add_exclusion.py around line 73, as linked in the issue, and trace how exclusion paths are collected. Check the case where an existing parent path such as /a/b/c makes a child path redundant. Done means child exclusions are skipped when their parent is already excluded, with the resulting exclusions verified.
