Public bug reported: The exclude rules for regular expression or file size does not works when the file path include "spurious" characters. The probable cause is the fact that the tar command is launched with the parameter --exclude-from=/tmp/sbackup/excludes.list and I read from tar manual that -X, --exclude-from FILE stand for "exclude patterns listed in FILE" so characters like [] and () and |$* break the exclusion process.
