Bad form posting over myself, I know, but just found something out which
might be relevant:

In case it wanted to delete excluded files AFTER the backup run, I tried
commenting out all my servers config and try a run.  I got this:

Feb 11 12:12:44 io Box Backup (bbackupd)[26904]: NOTICE: 4 redundant
locations in root directory found, wi
ll delete from store after 172800 seconds.
Feb 11 12:12:44 io Box Backup (bbackupd)[26904]: Unused location in
root: earth
Feb 11 12:12:44 io Box Backup (bbackupd)[26904]: Unused location in
root: venus
Feb 11 12:12:44 io Box Backup (bbackupd)[26904]: Unused location in
root: firewalls
Feb 11 12:12:44 io Box Backup (bbackupd)[26904]: Unused location in
root: jupiter
Feb 11 12:12:44 io Box Backup (bbackupd)[26904]: Not deleting unused
entries - too early (172799 seconds r
emaining)

Which kinda gives me another way out - I can comment 'earth' and have it
delete it from the store, then put it back in to make it back it up
again.  Obviously this is a long way from ideal - That'll copy around 200Mb

But it's only a solution if I don't have to wait 172799 seconds - ~50
hours.  Can't see anywhere to change this :-(

So it notices the lack of dir, but not the excludes.  I've checked
syntax again and paths relative the onsite backup - all correct...
