I really don't understand the problem.  You don't need to type all
those 7000 entries, you can produce the fnchange file on Windows with
"ls -1" and then massage the result with Sed, if necessary.  Where's
the difficulty?

One othet idea is to redirect djtar's input to a file which has a
single newline in it for each directory that you want to skip.  Does
that work?
