I'm sorry Kevin I don't take OS X (or any Apple sauce) so I'm out of
suggestions...

Dominic,
I added --exclude-regexp '[{}]+' after checking Spotlight to
see if any vital files would be affected (not at the moment, but
future files named with {} may be). That worked, for the narrow
test case of /Applications/Adobe.
Then I modified the backup script with that exclude, to
target the root again, and upped -v to 9. It skipped the {}
file fine, but then a new problem: it hits a symlink and
terminates (on /Applications/Adobe Bridge CS6/Adobe Bridge
CS6.app/Contents/Frameworks/AdobeACE.framework/AdobeACE ).
After reading other rdiff-backup-users threads on symlinks,
I double-checked the timestamps of the symlink and its target
file- identical, so it's not the future timestamp problem
mentioned elsewhere.
Is there a cure for this symlink problem?
