I'm tring to build up some sort of ``system scan'' script that,
nightly, scan all my debian/samba servers and report infections.

Script works, but i've some strange result, or at least probably i've
not understood well the clamscan command line options.


I start clamscan with a cmdline like:

        clamscan --quiet --stdout --recursive --infected --no-mail \
                --exclude-dir=/srv/quarantena --move=/srv/quarantena \
                --log=/var/log/sysscan.log /home /srv

and AFAI've understood well, the --exclude-dir excludes directory
patterns from the scannning process. But i find in log:

 /home/user/.profile9x/Application Data/sgrunt/IE4321.exe: Dialer-319 FOUND
 /home/user/.profile9x/Application Data/sgrunt/IE4321.exe: moved to 
'/srv/quarantena//IE4321.exe.000'
 [...]
 /srv/quarantena/IE4321.exe.000: Dialer-319 FOUND
 File excluded '/srv/quarantena/IE4321.exe.000'

So seems that --exclude-dir apply not to scanning, but to moving...
Can i tackle log the report sum script to ignore row like these, but
i'd prefere not to scan --exclude-dir ... clamav is a powerful tool, a
wonderful antivirus, but a bit slow...


Also, i've noted that even if i've put --no-mail, this script quarantine
a Thunderbird mailbox, that is in unix mailbox format.
What i'm missing here?
