Thanks Doug

by my limited understanding, the * wildcard in my example below would 
mean the system would exclude any directory called "proc" or "sys" etc 
regardless of the share, whereas what I think should be used is 
ryncshare = / and then specify the directories under there explicitly 
which I had done.

Amending to '*' => [ in the config.pl file resulted in same behaviour 
I've been seeing all along.

In your config I'd expect it to be excluding file types by extension 
rather than directories.

I could try '*/proc' etc I guess but think thats a bandaid approach and 
would really like to get this working the way its supposed to based on 
the documentation.

regards Tom
