  I see.

  That was correct.

  I've commited a new version to CVS, so if you update shortly you
 should see it.

  This expects directories, or directory components, to be ecluded to
 be specified by the value 'plugin_random_exclude'.  Multiple values
 can be deliminated via '|' symbols.

  I've tested using:

plugin_random_exclude = The|And|Test|Spoken|Audio|Hobbit

  However with a large value it is hard to see if works.  I guess
 stripping down an archive to two directories and excluding one will
 test it properly.

  (I guess this is going to hang if all directories match.  We
 could count attempts in the loop and try to detect this.  Not sure
 what the correct response is, error?)
