Sorry about the delay in getting back to you on this. I'm trying to replicate this but without success. If I create an empty "-i" file in a directory that has other files, then both full and incremental backups work on my set up. Let's take this off list and figure out how I can replicate it. At a minimum, can you restrict the backup to just /etc and increase XferLogLevel to, say, 6 and send me the XferLOG file?
