See Jason Tishler's response to your problem.

                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^
                                     this will specify that you want
./monitor/monitor.o to be included regardless of the --exclude because the
shell will do globbing.  You can either turn off globbing in the shell or use
quoting techniques.

Cheers,
