[Borgbackup] Cannot exclude directories

[Nick Gilmour]

Hi all,

I cannot exclude any directories with the option **--exclude-from** which I
have defined in a text file. The directories in the text file are like this:
...
"/home/*/.cache"
"*/.Trash-*"
...

I have tried some variations of this. E.g.:
/.cache
/.cache/
.cache
.cache/*

but Borg keeps creating backups of these directories. Also the option
**--exclude-caches** didn't help in the case of .cache. The command I run
is of this form:

**borg create -spv --exclude-caches --exclude-from exclude-file.txt
myrepo::mybackup mysource**

borg version: 1.0.7
System: Ubuntu 16.04.1 based

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Nick
