The title is not as easy as it sounds.... I am trying to exclude and file while ssh and untaring the file on the fly.
The command I am using is... The command typically works but recently I've add the X option along with the exclude file. Essentially, the exclude file is being ignored when run on the fly, as below.
Running the following works all the time....
But when adding the ssh along with the exclude file, it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

The hard links don't exist in the first place. How can I prevent that from happening?

bup-drecurse
bup-drecurse(1) General Commands Manual bup-drecurse(1)NAME
bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem
SYNOPSIS
bup drecurse [-x] [-q] [--exclude path] [--exclude-from filename] [--profile] <path>
DESCRIPTION
bup drecurse traverses files in the filesystem in a way similar to find(1). In most cases, you should use find(1) instead.
This program is useful mainly for testing the file traversal algorithm used in bup-index(1).
Note that filenames are returned in reverse alphabetical order, as in bup-index(1). This is important because you can't generate the hash
of a parent directory until you have generated the hashes of all its children. When listing files in reverse order, the parent directory
will come after its children, making this easy.
OPTIONS -x, --xdev, --one-file-system
don't cross filesystem boundaries.
-q, --quiet
don't print filenames as they are encountered. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
--exclude=path
a path to exclude from the backup (can be used more than once)
--exclude-from=filename
a file that contains exclude paths (can be used more than once)
--profile
print profiling information upon completion. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
EXAMPLE
bup drecurse -x /
SEE ALSO bup-index(1)BUP
Part of the bup(1) suite.
