On a side-note though; Does it work properly if you create your
'test' timeperiod like so:

define timeperiod {
	use             24x7
        timeperiod_name test
        alias           Test timeperiod
        tuesday         00:00-13:30,14:00-24:00
}

If it does, we'll know for sure that it's a bug with the 'exclude'
directive. Thanks.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
