Package: storebackup
Version: 1.19-6
Severity: normal

storeBackup(1) and /usr/share/doc/storebackup/README.gz both refer to
the 'exceptDirsSep' option.  There are two problems with this option:

(1) The documentation says that its default value is <,>, but in fact
its default value is a space.  Without trying to set exceptDirsSep, if
I try to use a comma as a separator I get

ERROR     2008.07.12 00:34:08  9272 no directory resulting from pattern 
<etc/dokuwiki,var/lib/dokuwiki>

while if I use a space instead, there's no error.

(2) When I try to set the option, storeBackup chokes:

# storeBackup -f dokuwiki
ERROR     2008.07.12 00:38:31  9357 unknown key <exceptDirsSep> in (dokuwiki, 2)

# cat dokuwiki
sourceDir   = /
exceptDirsSep = ,
includeDirs = etc/dokuwiki,var/lib/dokuwiki

Thanks,
Andrew.
