You also need to remember that an excluded file/file system has to be "read"
before it can be excluded.

It took a while for me to learn that. I could not figure out why I got "71"
errors on Unix drives that were unmounted on a poor man's cluster.  I had
excluded them in a policy, but still got 71.  Drove me nuts.

After I sent it, I did a double check.  I have three drives I'm avoiding.
The Page and some log files that get backed up by a specific policy.  The
two others backed up 1 file, 0KB.  The Page file backed up 4 files, 20KB.
So, I'm guessing it's working; I wasn't anticipating the stream though.

Thanks,
Jason
