I know the absolute path thing was a problem with 5.1, but I'm nearly=20
100% sure this was fixed in 5.1 MP1.
In fact, here it is from the README:

As found in the following readme for 5.1 MP1

It also appears in the 5.0 MP4 readme:

On unix i make good use of exclude files
The standard exclude_list i roll out to all clients is as follows
core
/proc
/tmp
/cdrom
/dev/fd
/var/crash
/var/run
/var/tmp
/etc/mnttab
Then i exclude files for certain backups which are not required, eg=20
log_files which i have in a separate log_archiving policy
Hope this helps
Dave
