Try replacing spaces ' ' with dots '.' in the paths specified with --prunepaths.
In a regexp a dot matches any character.
I had tried that, but
--prunepaths='/cygdrive/c/System.Volume.Information'
still caused the corresponding directory to be searched. I didn't have
time to look further then, maybe somebody else will beat me to it.
