If I do this it doesn't add any of the files, which makes sense because 
that would only match files inside directories 'a' and 'b', but here I 
am dealing with files.

If I change the include's to 'test/*/a' and 'test/*/b' it works how I 
want but if i use 'test/**/a' 'test/**/b' it only backs up 'a'.
