1. Hijacking a thread.
2. Omitting relevant parts of your configuration. The part you are quoting
   appears to be ok. Does that help you?
3. Not quoting your XferLog on the matter (shows the command executed and the
   excludes sent).

You *are* using rsync(d) transfer, aren't you? You have no --one-file-system
flag in your rsync parameters, right? '...' does not contain anything that
would exclude '/vz/dump', right? Is '/vz/dump' a file or a directory? Does it
exist on the client? ;-)

Regards,
Holger
