The backslashes are an issue, in a sense -- you missed one So it was trying to find a file named --exclude=... to execute.
If any of those folders contain spaces in their name, they need to be quoted. You might as well just quote all of them, to be safe. In double-quotes this time, since variables don't work inside single-quotes.
Code:
cd /var/www/"{SITE}"
tar -cvf "${WORKING_BACKUP_ROOT}/${TAR_ARCHIVE_FILE}" \
--exclude="${WORKING_BACKUP_ROOT}/${TAR_ARCHIVE_FILE}" \
--exclude='/var/www/abcCompany/cache' \
--exclude='/var/www/abcCompany/administrator/cache' . >"/${BACKUP_ROOT}/${ARCHIVE_LOG}"

test::checkmanifest
Test::CheckManifest(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::CheckManifest(3pm)NAME
Test::CheckManifest - Check if your Manifest matches your distro
VERSION
version 1.25
SYNOPSIS
use Test::CheckManifest;
ok_manifest();
DESCRIPTION
"Test::CheckManifest"
EXPORT
There is only one method exported: "ok_manifest"
METHODS
ok_manifest [{exclude => $arref}][$msg]
checks whether the Manifest file matches the distro or not. To match a distro the Manifest has to name all files that come along with the
distribution.
To check the Manifest file, this module searches for a file named "MANIFEST".
To exclude some directories from this test, you can specify these dirs in the hashref.
ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test/']});
is ok if the files in "/path/to/your/dist/var/test/" are not named in the "MANIFEST" file. That means that the paths in the exclude array
must be "pseudo-absolute" (absolute to your distribution).
To use a "filter" you can use the key "filter"
ok_manifest({filter => [qr/.svn/]});
With that you can exclude all files with an '.svn' in the filename or in the path from the test.
These files would be excluded (as examples):
o /dist/var/.svn/test
o /dist/lib/test.svn
You can also combine "filter" and "exclude" with 'and' or 'or' default is 'or':
ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test'],
filter => [qr/.svn/],
bool => 'and'});
These files have to be named in the "MANIFEST":
o /var/foo/.svn/any.file
o /dist/t/file.svn
o /var/test/test.txt
These files not:
o /var/test/.svn/*
o /var/test/file.svn
EXCLUDING FILES
Beside "filter" and "exclude" there is another way to exclude files: "MANIFEST.SKIP". This is a file with filenames that should be
excluded:
t/my_very_own.t
file_to.skip
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Great thanks to Christopher H. Laco, who did a lot of testing stuff for me and he reported some bugs to RT.
