So I'm using

and what I notice is that if I do a full backup with gnutar the
exclusions in my exclusions file are correctly obeyed. However, if I
want to do an incremental backup and use those same exclusions. What
typically happens is that if the file has no entries then the backup
is truely incremental. ie. it obeys the date of the file using via -N
but if I have an entry in there the meaning of -N is lost altogether
and it does a full backup ie. doesn't consider the modified time of
the files.
Is this a know feature/bug?
