In my testing, stripping the *.* doesn't work either - clamdscan just 
says it can't find c:\temp\foo\ and still errors out. What's probably 
needed, then, is something that can expand the wildcards and pass the 
results on to clamdscan.

Everything else can be hard-coded into a wrapper, for my purposes. I can 
have Declude call "wrapper.exe", it'll expand that to "wrapper.exe 
c:\temp\*.*", the wrapper will in turn expand that to "clamdscan.exe 
-option1 -option2 c:\temp\file.1 c:\temp\file.2" and I can grab the 
return code, pass it back up the chain, and in theory everything should 
work. It's a bit of a hack but I'll take it.
