Or, perhaps more likely, you're running the backup as root and root does not have the ability to view the .gvfs dir in your user's home dir (due to the way fuse works). You should be able to either exclude .gvfs from the backup or run the backup as your user. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
