Thanks to all that posted. I modified my exclude file to not use quotes, and specify the directories (i.e. Internet/* ). Next I changed my tar command as has been indicated. I'm still seeing the same behavior though. The moment I use "--exclude-from FILE", the tar command just ends with no errors.
I tried the --exclude option, and this seems to work fine. But I'd rather specify my excludes in a file - to be more manageable. Any thoughts?
