Oh, I see what you're getting at.  Behaviour for future versions of 
sitecopy will be to perform multiple "ls -la" invocations, recursing 
manually; so files within excluded *directories* will not get the 
redundant MDTM commands you're seeing now.

I've noted the issue w.r.t avoiding all redundant MDTM commands too.  
Thanks for the report.
