Right, and /home/user/Plausible, /home/user/impossible etc. Anything
beginning with P, i, c, etc will behave the same, which is almost certainly
not wanted.

That's not what happens for me -- e.g. if a file (not directory) called
/home/bogus exists then it will be backed up, which indicates that it does not
match /home/*/* (as expected).

Yes, adding wilddir = "/home/*" will recursively match all dirs (but not
files) underneath /home.
