Re: Exclude file list in tarsnaprc

[William Morris <wrm@hushmail.com>]

Oops, looks like I was hasty.  I took the quotes off and 
it works, although I notice that adding a space at the 
end of a line stops the line from working.  I originally 
didn’t have quotes and added them when it didn’t work, 
so maybe the originals had spaces.
