I've just updated to SR2. It didn't fix the problem...};-(
Below is the command line I'm using and results I'm getting. Note that:
a) It is all on one line as my mailer breaks it up
b) I run it in the Plucker directory
c) The file "exclusion-bbc.txt" is in the current directory

=====End Output=====
I don't see the "Adding extra exclusion list ..." that you get. No error messages
either about missing filenames.
Filenames longer that 8.3 should not a problem as I run Spider.py in bash under the
cygwin environment.
Would it help if I added in extra debugging messages into Spider.py?
