Yes, excluding those file worked. I looked at the permissions of the files and they are set as root for some reason even though they exist in the user home folder. I'm not sure why that is but I set the permissions back to the user and removed the exclude.

It all seems to work now.

I like the idea of BiT now checking for errors but I think the way errors are handled by BiT 1.0 is a little heavy handed. The whole snapshot fails because of two files with incorrect permissions. I think that the snapshot should still complete with a warning that there was a problem highlighting which files were causing the error and saying that those files were not included in the snapshot. This would at least still give protection to the rest of the system while the problem is analysed and fixed. Perhaps this should be added to the wishlist as a future enhancement. What do you think?
