That attempt failed. It started backing up files and folders from the directory specified in path again

Looks like it is simply recapturing the next time a backup is performed. The drive is listed in the Archive Preferences Specific Items dialog box as simply

/UserName/ExcludeMeDir

I deleted this so there are no entries in the Specific Items section and I'll trying entering it as a reg exp pattern now:

path
//Volumes/OtherHD/Users/UserName/ExcludeMeDir

pattern:
*

infinity: checked

Is there a way to delete a directory and it's contents from an archive that's already created or must I delete the entire archive and try again (hoping it excludes this big directory)?

(I would have sent you the original log file, but unfortunately my cleanup program got over excited and deleted it before I could look at it)

As my home directory is larger that the max size allowed for an archive, I wanted to exclude a directory that has several TB of data (and do a separate archive for it).
When I created the home directory archive I selected

Archives:Setting

from the menu, and then in the dialog box under

Exclude:Specific Items

I dragged the directory (it was referenced from my home folder, so it listed as

UserName > ExcludeMe

for the directory. When I then had QRecall do it's initial capture, the entire directory was included. If It's of any help, the

UserName

folder is on a separate hard disk from the boot volume, i.e. it's mounted as:

//Volumes/OtherHD/Users/UserName/ExcludeMe

.

Any ideas?
