rdiff no longer complains about me not meaning the command line I wrote,
but there's an exception raised:

$ rm -rf /home/guerby/backup
$ mkdir /home/guerby/backup
$ cat /home/guerby/bin/rdiff-list.txt
/home/guerby/bin
/home/guerby/private
$ rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist /home/guerby/bin/rdiff-list.txt 
--exclude /home /home /home/guerby/backup

I'll keep tar for the time being :).
