Well I goofed it looks like in actuality that none of my excludes are
working. What I thought was working are actually directories on other
mount points, but all mu excludes in root are failing.
Now as I think about it more I think that this problem cropped up
beginning with V4.
I'm using rsync could the problem be related to it and should I more to tar?

Been using BackupPC for more than 10 years and it's config has been

I have a pretty long exclude list, and now I need to add an additional
directory to exclude. I added the new directory /home/new/* but the
directory and it's contents are being backed up.
I tried /home/new/ and /home/new with no success. All the other
directories that I'm excluding are working exactly as desired.
In poking around for a solution I see that I'm not alone in trying to
solve this problem. It's even more frustrating when all the other
excludes work but not this addition.
So is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks
Pete

If money can fix it, it's not a problem.
