Steve is using tar, TarShareName is / and is using BackupFilesExclude
on the GUI. Or trying to :)
Not using $Conf{RsyncArgs} directive, as I said. That was Allen

Sorry, Steve
As Allen point out for rsync, you may look at your XferLOG to see the
tar command produced and check the syntax against the tar command
syntax
see http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html#SEC108

Sorry again about the mess

No problem, Luis.

But I still don't have a solution. To summarize:

[st...@steve ~]$ rpm -qa | grep BackupPC
BackupPC-3.1.0-9.fc11.noarch

Using tar as the backup mechanism, I'm looking for a way to exclude
the .gvfs directory in a users home directory from the backup as it
produces an error. From the backup log:

Contents of file /media/disk/pc/steve/XferLOG.bad.z, modified
2010-05-08 14:41:36

Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /home/steve --totals
--newer=2010-05-06 00:00:09 . incr backup started back to 2010-05-06
00:00:09 (backup #284) for directory /home/steve Xfer PIDs are now
30316,30315 /bin/tar: ./.gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied
...
rest of the transfer log.

I've tried everything I can think of for BackupFilesExclude including

.gvfs
*.gvfs
/home/*/.gvfs
*/.gvfs

I normally use / as the TarShareName but to cut down on the experiment
times I've been using /home/steve. So far nothing has worked. I always
get the same error.
Is this a bug? If so, is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Steve

Well, something is not right
You should have an --exclude=./.gvfs on your Running: line
as in (for /proc)
Running: /usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C / --totals
--newer=2010-05-07 04:00:03 --exclude=./proc/* ...
