[rdiff-backup-users] 1.1.5 and include settings

[apryanmd]

Hey-
I recently upgraded my ebuild to rdiff-backup 1.1.5 and noticed some issues 
when attempting to back up data. I understand this isn't a stable release and 
I'm guessing that because of this I may be experiencing the problems I am.

Basically I created a bash script to back up several systems by selection. 
Currently when ever a back up is issued on this one system, the 
includes/excludes with in my globin filelist seem to be ignored and 
rdiff-backup simply attempts to back up the entire directory.

What I am hoping to accomplish here is to back up the following:
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/anthony ber/My Documents
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/anthony ber/Start Menu
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/anthony ber/"Local Settings"/"Application 
Data"/VanDyke
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/anthony ber/"Local Settings"/"Application 
Data"/Mozilla
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/anthony ber/"Local Settings"/"Application 
Data"/Thunderbird
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/"Monolith Productions"
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/All Users/"Application Data"/"Apple 
Computer"
/mnt/anthony/Documents and Settings/All Users/"Application Data"/nView_Profiles

and not back up anything else. I especially added some -'d ones to make sure it 
wouldn't back up those directories. But it still does!!!

I also want to create a regex entry in there to not back up any directory or 
file with the name *cache* in it.

I know you guys tend not to offer newbies help here but I would be very 
greatfull if someone could just reply with some suggestions besides 'read man' 
etc. Prior to upgrading to 1.1.5 I did have this working pretty good minus the 
use of the '--exclude **/' and the '**/' before every dir in the globbing 
filelist.

Thanks!
