C:\Users is a real location.  It's folders like C:\Users\username\My
Pictures that are not real directories.  For the OP, you don't need to
do anything about these messages.  They're just informative in this
case.  I get messages like that on most of the computers that I back up
since Bacula is set, by default, to only back up the filesystem that is
part of an include path.

You won't see the directories that Bacula is not descending into by
default on Vista.  They are hidden directories.  If you want to see
them, you have to make Windows Explorer show hidden directories.
