Exclude not working?

Hi

I have following problem:


/etc/hdup/hdup.conf
  [... sniping not relevant part ..]

  [mars]
  dir = /
  log = yes
  exclude = ^/proc, \
          ^/var/spool/news, \
          ^/var/tmp/*, \
          ^/tmp/*

  one filesystem = yes
  compression = gzip



Running the following command

  hdup -c /etc/hdup/hdup.conf -V -V -V -V  monthly mars

produces following output:

  hdup: mars: STARTING BACKUP.
  hdup: No user given, defaulting to: operator.
  hdup: No protocol path given, defaulting to: /usr/bin/ssh.

[pressing Ctrl-C to abort because hdup wants to include /proc]


This is debian version of hdup2

dpkg -l hdup|grep hdup

ii  hdup           2.0.4-1        Filesystem duplicator and backup


Summary:

Something must be wrong with hdup, because /proc is another filesystem,
and should be excluded by the option 'one filesystem = yes' and/or by my
exclude statement.

Feel free to contact me if further information is needed.
