Your vault directory would be contained within "../current". Within that vault directory, you need to have a subdirectory "dirvish" containing the "default.conf" file. OTOH, if you want "current" to be your vault, _it_ contains "dirvish/default.conf", and is _not_ in the bank specification. Your "runall:" entry specifies the vaults you want to back up. Other than that, the files look okay. I should warn you, though, that I am not a Dirvish expert by any means. I got it to work, and I'm happy with it, but it was a bit of a trial (not to mention trial and error) to do so. One thing that I did when I created my config files: I put lots and lots of comments in, to tell me what each entry did, what the options were, and sometimes _why_ they were. :-) Trust me, it helps immensely when I have to modify something. :-) If you think it would help, I could post my configs. Sometimes having a working example can be useful.
