Thanks Piergi ... I added these to the recipe and the final command was:

     exiftool -r -overwrite_original -Subject= -Keywords= 
-LastKeywordXMP= -TagsList= /images

It seems to have been successful although I don't have any exif data in 
the images any longer. I may well just let this happen naturally as I 
review tag groups over time.
