tar --exclude not working

["Mohankumar Periasami" <karthikexa at gmail dot com>]

Experts,

I'm using tar (GNU tar) 1.16.1 and have an archive with the following entries.
Files/report1.html
Files/report2.html
Files/report3.html
Files/report4.html
D:/Bkp/sol/
D:/Bkp/sol/test1.pl
D:/Bkp/sol/test2.pl
D:/Bkp/sol/test3.pl

Whenever, I try to exclude files starting with "D:/" its not working
as expected.
The command used is,
tar tf test.tar --anchored --exclude="D:/"
and if the command is changed to,
tar tf test.tar --anchored --exclude="Bkp" then its working fine. It
seems the --exclude is not working properly if the pattern starts with
windows drive letter. The same thing is working fine for inclusion
patterns.
tar tf test.tar --anchored "D:/" (working fine)

Is this a bug? Can it be worked atound?
Please throw light on this..

Thanks in Advance,
Mohankumar
