I have made such changes as are necessary to allow me to ssh as root
into a Windows box, with the intention of using my flexbackup setup to
take backups of it. However, it does not work due to a problem with
find.

I can quite happily enter the command:

find . -depth -xdev ! -type s ! -regex ".*/[Cc]ache/.*" ! -regex ".*~"$ -print0

... manually in the relevant directory and the output is right. However,
when I actually try the backup job with flexbackup, this happens:


flexbackup version 1.2.1 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net)

It would seem, therefore, that it doesn't like having find called by
flexbackup.

Is there a way round this or do I need to find another way to do the
whole job? I can't mount the drive over the network because it gives
ERRnomem when I try to mount any share from the Windows box.
