Nope, neither.
I'm wondering if it somehow isn't working by using the variable $EXCLUDES?
It works without using this variable.
Also, there's this in the man page:
The --exclude pattern option matches a file iff:
.
pattern can be expanded into the file’s filename, or
.
the file is inside a directory matched by the option.
If so, how is one to exclude a directory? I want a blacklist, not a whitelist.
Any ideas?
