Yes, that did the trick! I did notice, however, that if you reverse the
order of the group start times, this also fixes the problem. For
example, if you launch the group that backs up 'All' first (this is the
one that uses the custom directive to skip the affected path) and then
the group that backs up just the specified path (this uses standard Unix
directive) then because the group that forces the skip runs first and
not last, it doesn't wipe out the index entry like it does when it runs
last. Of course, this logic won't work if overlap occurs (e.g. fulls),
causing the group that should finish first to actually finish last. At
least I don't think it would.
