Nathan,
Yes, I saw what you saw in the gtar report - I can only
surmize that the error is written in a confusing mannor.
/proc is definitely a directory that contains files that
are named for process ids that can be found on the system.
I've updated the exclude command... we'll see if it helps.
thanks,
Brian
