rdiff-backup doesn't handle door files well.  i would be happy if they
were ignored (as rsync does) or if --exclude worked on them, but i still
get warnings:

the file /rmdisk/bigadisk/backup/alto/root.exclude contains:
"""
/dev/.devfsadm_synch_door
/etc/sysevent/devfsadm_event_channel/1
...
"""

trying to use exclude to ignore the door files doesn't work:
"""
# /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup --exclude-other-filesystems
--exclude-filelist /rmdisk/bigadisk/backup/alto/root.exclude /
/rmdisk/bigadisk/backup/alto/root
ListError dev/.devfsadm_dev.lock/.devfsadm_synch_door
/dev/.devfsadm_synch_door
ListError etc/sysevent/devfsadm_event_channel/1
/etc/sysevent/devfsadm_event_channel/1
...
"""

note the weirdness in the first ListError: dev/.devfsadm_dev.lock is not
a directory.  i don't know how that happened.

well, i think that's my last comment for the day.

cheers,
/lib
