Dominic,
I added --exclude-regexp '[{}]+' after checking Spotlight to see if any vital
files would be affected (not at the moment, but future files named with {} may
be). That worked, for the narrow test case of /Applications/Adobe.
Then I modified the backup script with that exclude, to target the root again,
and upped -v to 9. It skipped the {} file fine, but then a new problem: it
hits a symlink and terminates (on /Applications/Adobe Bridge CS6/Adobe Bridge
CS6.app/Contents/Frameworks/AdobeACE.framework/AdobeACE ).
After reading other rdiff-backup-users threads on symlinks, I double-checked
the timestamps of the symlink and its target file- identical, so it's not the
future timestamp problem mentioned elsewhere.
Is there a cure for this symlink problem?
Kevin
