Tarring



i went to the website [http://www.linux.org] and looked up how to backup 
my system, and i found on [http://www.tldp.org] the command below.  i 
even reviewed the SILUG archives and found Doc's reply to my previous 
TAR question, and i found lots of help and got my file working, however, 
i have run into a problem.

i am tarring everything on the system ( excluded some files) and it 
started including a directory i told it to exclude!  what gives (using FC4)?

#!/bin/bash
tar -zcvpf /BloomCounty/BillTCat/`date +'%Y-%m-%d'`_fc4backup.tar.gz 
--label="Fedora Core 4 Full Backup" / --exclude=mnt --exclude=proc 
--exclude=var/spool/squid --exclude=/BloomCounty --exclude=*.iso 
--exclude=*.rpm
