Hi guys, Sorry to be a pest about this... But I'm not sure any more if there is something wrong with my filter or if filters do not prevent the problem I am having either...
I found a thread of a guy with the same problem and filters helped him: http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.cfengine.help/browse_thread/thread/20ee2e2bcd6886af/f9e497e9f9c7c104?q=filter&rnum=29#f9e497e9f9c 7c104 I tried to use his filter and originally I thought it fixed the problem for me as well - even though it did not even copy the sub-directories I *did* specify, but that's something I can work around... But now it seems like I can not get the filter to do anything any more...
