given the following directory structure:

/home
/home/httpd/html
/home/httpd/html/linux-sxs
/home/httpd/icons

Is it possible to tar backup everything in /home except
/home/httpd/html/linux-sxs?

I tried:

tar cvzfp /home/backup/linux.backup.tgz -T /tmp/filelist -X /tmp/xclude

file /tmp/filelist:
/home/
/etc/

file /tmp/filelist:
/home/httpd/html/linux-sxs/

but tar still include the linux-sxs sub-dir.
