Winrar Command Line for Excluding a Directory

Hi all,

I have a .bat file in which I have a Winrar command that zips up all the files in a particular folder (
Code: 
C:\Data
). I want to zip all the files in this folder plus any files in any subfolders except that I want to exclude a particular subfolder (
Code: 
C:\Data\Cobian\Logs
). Here is what my command looks like

Code: 
WinRAR a -r -m0 -agYYYYMMDD C:\Users\Sachin\Desktop\ C:\Data -x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs -x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs\*

You can see that I have attempted to exclude the aforementioned subfolder by using the below option, but the attempted exclusion does not work. The rest of the command works.

Code: 
-x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs -x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs\*
How can I correctly exclude the given folder?
