[FX.php List] Finetuning MacOS X for FileMaker Server Advanced

Just tried it on another server, same thing. Both running Tiger Server, FMS 10.

Hmm... which explains why I never excluded the database folders. I vaguely recall trying this months ago with the same result.

What's preventing me from excluding these folders? Is this a Mac OS Server thing?
