If I want to skip the contents of a directory and everything in and below that directory from getting backed up on Unix do I create a .nsr file with this syntax?

+skip:*

Is that one line all you had in the .nsr file? It requires the directory be specified (yes, the docs on this subject suck):

<< ./ >>
        +skip: *

Those two lines would do it -- if the .nsr file is in the directory at the top of the tree you want to skip.
