Also in the $tmpbkdir/nobak.txt

---------------------->8==============================
*.iso
*.rpm
home/rocky/backup
home/rocky/mp3tree
======================8<-----------------------------

/home/rocky/mp3tree is a mounted smb share. It also tries to back it up
occasionally even though explicitly told not to back it up.

Does this help???
