Re: Ignoring RCS directories.

[Andrew Mayhew]

Well, before Mark says it, could you upgrade to 1.6.3 :-)

I have the following under cfengine 1.5.3 and it works:
/master/cfengine dest=/apps/etc
    mode=0444
    recurse=inf
    server=$(cfd_master)
    exclude=*.bak
    exclude=.#*
    exclude=*.cfsaved
    ignore=CVS
    backup=false
    type=binary
    force=true
    purge=false

Which can be seen from this -v output from cfengine snippet:
cfengine:sfo-test02: Skipping excluded pattern .#cf.control.1.27
cfengine:sfo-test02: Skipping excluded pattern .#cf.control.1.28
cfengine:sfo-test02: Skipping excluded pattern .#cf.control.1.29

And while there is a CVS directory in /master/cfengine on the master
system, the cfengine client system never makes comment about the
ignored directory.  Taking a total swag at your problem I would see
what happens if you remove the quotes (") from around your ignored
pattern.
