To be honest, it one of those things I've always intended to follow up,
but never have.
My reasoning at the moment goes;
/path/*
means all files in the dir at that point, so it would match /path/fish
but not /path/chips/fish
/path/.../*
means any files in dir's after PATH to any level of depth. So, a FILE
/path/fish would NOT match because fish is not a dir, but
/path/chips/fish would match.
So to match the 'root' portion of a path (if you get my meaning) AND all
files in dir's from that path, you need both.
...I could very well be inaccurate on this.
As it goes, I did start to test it when I wrote your reply, but instead
came across what appeared to be strange behaviour when using '*''s to
specify a path branch, and that led to me posting here about that, and
digressing from my original aim...
Matt.

Thanks Matthew, that worked a treat,
One question, do you need both includes in the file or would one
suffice?
Include /.../* 30days
Include /* 30days
Thanks,
