I dont get the second sentence. I have only a wordlist-translation for
'contrite', similar to 'remorse'. What should your friend feel remorse for?

Perhaps you think that i should feel remorse? Then let me tell you. I dont!

Let us wrap this up and close this thread with a little summary:

1) There is no bug in the interpretation of the exclude-statement in disklist.
   Both the 'list' and 'file' options is working.

2) The man-page is correctly describing how it works. Although i believe
   that even native-english-speakers need to read it several times before
   one can understand what it really means. And with no prior experience
   it is difficult.

3) It is confusing to say 'list' when you have a file, and to say 'file'
   when you have a list. And i bet that im not the only or the last one to
   do the same misinterpretation.


And finally a little script to generate the disklist. It delete files
with '*', so a testrun in a empty directory is recommended. Provided
with the hope that it could be useful for someone else but me.

Cheers! And thanks again for the help.
