Unfortunately, this is a bug related to TAR's incremental feature. TAR
stores files that are excluded from a backup in the snapshot file (snar
file) as 'Not included'. If this exclusion is no longer valid in later
backups, TAR does not include such 'new' files since it treats them as
not changed since the last backup. The TAR algorithm (version 1.22) is
not able to distinct between

1) file was 'Not included' because it is on the excludes list and
2) file was 'Not included' because it hasn't changed since tha last backup.

Conclusion: hard to fix and probably won't fix in nssbackup 0.2.

Excluded files are not included in later backups if configuration was modified
