The NetWorker server in question is Power Edition NetWorker 7.1.2 on
a Sunfire v480 with Solaris 9. The client in question is running NetWorker
6.1.2 on a Suse Linux system.

The problem is that directives on this particular client are ignored. When
I try to run a probe or server initiated backup of this client, it looks
like everything gets backed up. I have tried several permutations of
directives and tried both server side and client side directives, but both
are ignored.

What I want to do is avoid ever backing up the /dev and /usr/local/perlmx
directories. I have tried things like putting a .nsr file in the root
directory that looks like:

<< / >>
skip: dev
<< /usr/local >>
skip: perlmx

but each time I try to back up that Linux server, it attempts to back up
the /usr/local/perlmx and /dev directories too. Directives I have on other
servers are working fine, but not on this server.

What am I doing wrong?
