Kevin,

I have the same problem as you (files in a --exclude-globbing-filelist are
not being excluded. In my case the /mnt/backup drive is getting backed up on
itself!!).  The weird thing is that I've got multiple machines with almost
identical rdiff-backup setup, and only one isn't working.
But then, 3 days after your post, Adrian Cox reported another bug:
http://old.nabble.com/max-file-size-prevents-backup-of-large-directory-td28788157.html

On a hunch, I checked my faulty machine: sure enough, I had added
"--max-file-size" a little while ago.  Tried without -> everything works
perfectly now.  So not only does the "--max-file-size" bug affect large
directories like Adrian's, it also completely messes up the exclusion
matching process!

See if you've got that option enabled, removing it may fix the problem for
you.

Cheers
Nemo
