If I have in my excludes file:

However, from what I understand about the anchoring process, that line
should also cause /home/gene to be bypassed, and that effectively shuts
down the reason to do the backup in the first place.
Having the line:
./.gvfs
in the exclude file doesn't shut up the incessant mewling about it from
amanda because due to the way the perms are set on that subdir, not even
root can access it. So I haven't a clue why its there, or what in tuncket
its doing. It has something to do with Ubuntu's use of the Global Virtual
File System. I think.
Ideas? Clarifications?
Thanks.

that's the GNOME virtual file system, and the reason even root can't
read it is because it's basically run by a process running as the user
with no way for other users to communicate with it. It's akin to a fuse
filesystem, though I'm not sure if fuse is involved. It's used to make
mounts through gnome (mostly smb, some other stuff like cameras and
music devices) available to command line apps that the user is running.
THe inability to access it as another user is a technical limitation.
