I currently have a simple script to run

rdiff-backup --exclude /home/daryl/Downloads/ /home/daryl/ /media/Lacie/daryl_backup

However testing --exclude by dropping test.txt in ~/Downloads shows that the directory is still being copied over. Is this because the first time I ran rdiff to the target I did not include --exclude in my script?

I solved this by removing /Downloads manually from the destination. Now that is does not exist on the target, the script properly --excludes /Downloads at the source.
