Nothing strange there, as far as I can see...
May try to use the full /home/steve/.gvfs (I think it's /home/steve),
just to see if it works
You may have
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
But that should come from your config.pl (and not the problem)
Your $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} is only good for share '/'
When you use share /home/steve
$Conf{TarShareName} = [
'/home/steve/'
];
You'll have to change BackupFilesExclude accordingly
Don't really know why you don't have the --exclude. An example of my logs is
Running: /usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /home
--totals --newer=2010-05-09 04:00:02 --exclude=./home/lpaulo/backup/*
--exclude=./home/backuppc/fuse/* .
incr backup started back to 2010-05-09 04:00:02 (backup #88) for directory /home
(I don't have .gvfs on this machine, not even X. On another machines I
exclude .gvfs but using rsync)
No more ideas
I've check http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html and it says:
6.5 Wildcards Patterns and Matching
Periods (‘.’) or forward slashes (‘/’) are not considered special for
wildcard matches
and
Problems with Using the exclude Options
When you use ‘--exclude=pattern’, be sure to quote the pattern
parameter, so GNU tar sees wildcard characters like ‘*’. If you do not
do this, the shell might expand the ‘*’ itself using files at hand, so
tar might receive a list of files instead of one pattern, or none at
all, making the command somewhat illegal. This might not correspond to
what you want.
So, I don't think 'the dot is the problem, maybe putting "" around
/home/*/.gvfs, or putting it directly on the TarIncrArgs and
TarFullArgs (--exclude='/home/*/.gvfs' $fileList, ...)
Please check if the full /home/steve/.gvfs.
I think I may have a similar problem with '.Trash-*', I'll try to do
some experiment also.
PS: Just remember. You may (or not) have to go Admin Options on the
menu and Reload the server configuration after you make changes on the
config.
or
/etc/init.d/backuppc restart
Just in case :)
Sorry about the long post
