Hi Tom,

You need to separate your directories with commas, as in:

exclude = /proc, /backup, /dev, /tmp

|
| [tfogal@apollo etc]# cat excludelist
| /proc /backup /dev /tmp /boot /home/gfowler /mnt
| /backup/root/
| [tfogal@apollo etc]# wc -l excludelist
|       2 excludelist
|
| Any ideas as to whats going on?
|
| TIA,
