[plug] Using the "-X" modifier in tar

I have been trying to get the "-X" command to work in a tar command.
The man page says you can use -X and a filename.  The filename will be a
list of files, or directories, you wish to exclude from the tar file
creation.

When I run it, it does not exclude those files/directories.

Has anyone used this before?
