Create a file which contains a list of files you want to exclude (notme.dat
in my example):

Then:

	tar cvf --directory /usr/phorum/htdocs --exclude notme.dat phorum-dev.tar *

--directory will replace the need for "cd /usr/phorum/htdocs" part of the
script

I would also suggest:

	tar cvfpz

the p will make sure all the files keep the current permissions (so might
save people having to chmod them depending on your system)

the z will gunzip the files before adding them to the archive.

Cheers,

Rich
