Maybe it's a difference between Solaris and RH Linux.  Sorry I didn't
specify that before.  But that helps.  I've had the exclude_list updated
with trailing slashes.  Until about 10 minutes ago, I was running fine
on the backup.  I just checked and found this:

/2/2006 11:22:42 AM - Error bpbrm(pid=18300) from client yosemite: ERR -
Modification time has changed while backing up
/u02/oradata/bnrbuild/undotbs_bnrbuild_01.dbf.

Maybe the addition of a *.dbf rule would help?  Otherwise, I see a call
to Veritas in my future.
