Anyone have experience with the Gtar option --exclude='FileGlob' ?

	Hello All ,  I am using Gtar 1.13 & I have to be using this
	function incorrectly as tar still stuffs the 'FileGlob' files
	into the tarball everytime .  Yes I know about the
	[ -l, --one-file-system ] .  I'd prefer not to use the /dev/nst0
	device entry in the script I am trying to build that using '-l'
	would cause .  Tia ,  JimL

	I have tried :

	--exclude="proc/*"
	--exclude="proc/."

	Ex: below .
cd /
tar --blocking-factor=128 \
    --read-full-blocks \
    --create \
    --same-permissions \
    --same-owner \
    --exclude="proc/*" \
    -f /dev/st0 \
    etc/passwd \
    etc/shadow \
    etc/group \
    .
