The problem here is that 'bck901' will match the skip entry and be
skipped... all of it.  A +skipped directory isn't descended, so none of
the children can match.

It's possible changing it to a 'null' will let it find them, but then
you're going to have index information for the other files as well, even
if it doesn't back them up.
