The man page says lines beginning with # in an --exclude-from file are
ignored.  You could use --exclude "#from#" on the command line, or you could
do something that would remove the '#' from the first character in an
exclude-from file.  Quotes and backslashes are not recognized in the file.
You could try '*#notes#', or if the file is at your top level directory you
could use '/#notes#'.
