You should see an --exclude on the log. I see on mine.

I assume you are trying to exclude .gvfs in the BackupFilesExclude on
the GUI. You have a Delete button, then one or more Insert and Delete
buttons, and you type ".gvfs" after that. Right?
And what you have on the left of the first delete button?

Please post your computer.pl config file (replace computer with your
client name). It's easier to check
If I see something strange I'll be happy to guide you through the GUI.

A note: You may have BackupFilesOnly OR BackupFilesExclude, not both.

Luis
