This is as it is at the moment.

#!/bin/sh

BESTEMMING="/home/js/werkesel-rugsteun/`date +'%Y%m%d_demensie'`"
ssh js at log "mkdir $BESTEMMING"

rsync -CavrSb --progress --backup-dir=$BESTEMMING --delete \
  --delete-excluded --exclude "\.netscape/" --exclude "rugsteun/" \
   --exclude "\.cache/" --exclude "cache/" --exclude "\.unison/" \
  --exclude "tmp/"  --exclude "\.beagle/" --exclude "/home/js/.thumbnails" \
  --exclude   "/var/spool/" --exclude "Cache/" --exclude "\.Trash/"\
  --exclude "- .gvfs/"  --exclude "/home/js/\.cache" \
  --exclude dev/ --exclude "sys/" --exclude "proc/"  --exclude "lost+found/" \
  --exclude /media/ /   js at log:/home/js/werkesel-rugsteun/demensie/


When I use it with --exclude "/home/js/.gvfs" I get

rsync: readlink "/home/js/.gvfs" failed: Permission denied (13)

Permissions:

dr-x------   2 js   js        0 2008-11-06 08:05 .gvfs/

The script is run as user root.
