More detailed info on how exclusions work

I keep getting errors where I can see my exclusions working, but then it
seems to attempt to compile the class anyway.

For instance: http://pastebin.com/wFPpQWxU

I could see the "number of files to compile" number going down as I
added exclusions, and yet I still kept getting the same error messages
every time.

Why?

A link to an explanation would be just as good. My google-foo is
failed, and I've been at this for hours.

Thanks!
