But I still don't have a solution. To summarize: [st...@steve ~]$ rpm -qa | grep BackupPC BackupPC-3.1.0-9.fc11.noarch Using tar as the backup mechanism, I'm looking for a way to exclude the .gvfs directory in a users home directory from the backup as it produces an error. From the backup log: Contents of file /media/disk/pc/steve/XferLOG.bad.z, modified 2010-05-08 14:41:36 Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /home/steve --totals --newer=2010-05-06 00:00:09 . incr backup started back to 2010-05-06 00:00:09 (backup #284) for directory /home/steve Xfer PIDs are now 30316,30315 /bin/tar: ./.gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied ... rest of the transfer log. I've tried everything I can think of for BackupFilesExclude including .gvfs *.gvfs /home/*/.gvfs */.gvfs I normally use / as the TarShareName but to cut down on the experiment times I've been using /home/steve. So far nothing has worked. I always get the same error. Is this a bug? If so, is there a workaround?
