It varies depending on the excludes and what part of the file system we are

Robert, we need to rule out the possibility that you in reality accidentally use
--atime-preserve, so generated example is not enough.

Yes I’ve been trying to see if that is being used or some how ignored. In the /etc/drobo-backup.conf file I have these 2 options:

backup = /home/users --atime-preserve --exclude=aquota.user --exclude=.gvfs --exclude=--exclude-ignore-recursive=S.gpg-agent --exclude=.adobe --exclude=.config/libvirt/qemu/lib/capabilities.monitor.sock --exclude=.dropbox --exclude=home/users/*/.cache --exclude=.fontconfig --exclude=csga/*/S.gpg-agent --exclude-caches-all

backup = /home/users/aquota.user

Could all of those excludes and additional options be somehow interfering with each other?

The aquota.user file does successfully back up:

Backed up /home/users/aquota.user to

/drobo-rh/drobo-lc/ourdomain/home-users-aquota.user.tgz

So perhaps there is something off in my syntax in the exclude options?
