This is basically how I've tried to do it - I got rid of everything except 
this line -

rsync --exclude-from=/home/anne/bup-data_exclude.txt -auvzr /home/anne/* 
/mnt/server_home/anne/

I don't think it comes much simpler than that, but I still hit the problem of 
freezing, and so far nothing has given me a clue what's causing it.

I run this as anne - both when I run it in the script, and when testing by 
simply running it in konsole.  I own the directories to which it needs to 
write.  Yesterday I carefully changed everything in the backup back from being 
owned by nobody to being owned by me.  I still see all the chgrp "operation 
not permitted" messages, but now it doesn't show me any files at all - it 
looks as though it stops earlier than it did.

Time to reboot, since neither konsole nor file managers (or kwrite/kdate) are 
available to me.
