Started out auto-mounting 2 XP shares on the same PC to 2 mount points (/mnt/network & /mnt/network1) and including them in sbackup config. One entry was the whole mount point, the other specified a sub-directory of the 2nd mount point (/mnt/network1/2006).
Sbackup insisted on backing up all sub-directories of the 2nd mount point.
I then removed 2nd mp from config and ran sbackup and with just the one share in the config, it still took all of the mp.
Played with this, de-installing sbackup, reinstalling - same behaviour.
My solution: /mnt/network and /mnt/network1/2006 in includes and /mnt/network1 in excludes. Work fine.

nice bug you spotted there. The problem is that sbackup does a substring match on what to include, so "/mnt/network" includes both "/mnt/network/somefile" and "/mnt/network1/somefile/". I will try to see what can be done about that.
