By the way, just for the record:
I have a working script running, but to do the same thing as you did i
had to turn off the shell's globbing:
==snip==
#disable filename globbing
set -f
#build up the list of files/directories to exclude
if [ -z $EXCLUDECMD ]; then
EXCLUDECMD=""
fi
for dir in $EXCLUDEDIRS; do
EXCLUDECMD="${EXCLUDECMD} --exclude $dir/**"
done
duplicity incremental ...
#re-enable filename globbing
set +f
==snip==

Just one more thing then. I'm not sure why this isn't working,
perhaps you do?
DRIVENAME='offsite1'
INCLUDES=''
EXCLUDES="--exclude ~/.cache --exclude ~/Library/Caches --exclude
~/Dropbox --exclude ~/test --exclude ~/src --exclude ~/Downloads
--exclude ~/Public --exclude ~/Sites --exclude '**/.DS_Store'"
duplicity $INCLUDES $EXCLUDES ~/
"file:///Volumes/$DRIVENAME/backup/"
I get the message:
Fatal Error: The file specification
~/.cache
cannot match any files in the base directory
/Users/Chris
Now, I can use the glob **, to give **/.cache in the EXCLUDES
variable, but then won't this match any .cache directory, regardless
of depth? (I just want to match the ~/.cache directory explicitly).
Thanks.
