That's ok, provided I can list directories ... something like this:
./var/spool/mail
./usr/local
./etc
./var/log/samba
... and just catch those directories and everything in them. That
will work, I presume? The manpage says soemthing confusing about not
allowing more than one '/', but gnutar's -T option seems to support
that just fine.
