I dont think this is related any more. The problem is that I can not specify excludes from the command line below the first level. RAT63 will already be applied as Buildbot always compiles the latest snapshot from RAT trunk, so buildbot is using the latest, including the above fix. so, --exlcude somefile.name somefirstLevelDir/ someotherdir/ does work but, --exclude firstLevel/secondlevel/file.name firstLevel/secondLevel/** does not.

I hope someone can offer ideas, but i will try again to get it working myself. > -David -- Gav...
