I can't get tar to exclude files -- 2nd request

[Admaster Communications <admaster@mindspring.com>]

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 on a 486 clone and I've tried many
permutations of


tar -zcvf test.tar * --exclude=leave_me_out.txt

The file I ask to be excluded is reliably INcluded.  Is my syntax wrong?

Please help.

Looking forward to the guidance that comes from experience...

If I don't hear anything in the next 20 minutes, y'all have a great weekend.
