Expansion of unquoted globs in keyword arguments seldom gives the intended result. e.g. rsync --exclude=/home/*/.*/ /home/ /tmp/ might expand to: rsync --exclude=/home/a/.x/ /home/a/.y/ /home/b/.x/ /home/b/.y/ /home/ /tmp/ which copies a lot more than presumably intended. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
