Can't stat -t problem

[mike wolman]

Hi Ben,

I have just noticed your posting about the new version and am about to
try it out with the new option.

I did learn a bit more about find and after running:

find / \( -type d -name dev -prune \) -o -type b -print

I am pretty sure there are no device files being backed up.

I will let you know if the new option sorts things,

Thanks,

Mike.
