I have a 1.4TB filesystem with several large subdirectories
and lots of smaller subdirectories. I split off the 4 large
subdirectories into their own client/group, and in the top
level directory backup placed the following directive to
ignore the 4 large subdirectories.

The root directory is /vol/vol0/home/buildusr:

I first tried the following, per the NW documentation, which
didn't work - i.e., everything was backed up:

  directive:\
  "<< /vol/vol0/home/buildusr >>
        skip: builds
        skip: distributions
        skip: distributions-test
        skip: shipments";

Then, after reading suggestions from the Networker archives I
tried this, which doesn't appear to work either:

  directive:\
  "<< /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/builds >>
        skip:  * .?*
  << /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/distributions >>
        skip:  * .?*
  << /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/distributions-test >>
        skip:  * .?*
  << /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/shipments >>
        skip   * .?*";


What am I doing wrong? What's the right way to ignore/skip
backing up these 4 directories?
