My confusion was whether the list passed to -X should be defined as an absolute path, or a pattern. When I originally tried /dir it didn't work, but as you say ./tmp does. Good trick about mount -o bind, too, I had forgotten about that. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Thanks Wonko, it seems that I fell victim to my regex ignorance. I started with /tmp, but that would also exclude the directories and I didn't fancy creating them manually afterwards. Also dir/* does not include dir/.* What shall I use for excluding all the contents of a directory, but not the directory itself?
