Problem synching Filemaker Files

[vince77]

Hi -

I'm trying to sync some filemaker files and it is skipping 5 files for no apparent reason. SFFS is installed on the machine housing the filemaker files and the files are open, but so are some other files which are getting synced. Here is the sync log:

Verification Results for Profile FileMaker Data
Left Base Folder : C:\LAFP01 Data
Right Base Folder : \\server\lafp02\FileMaker Data

TOTALS: Left Right
----------------- | -----------------
22 Files | 17 Files
- 5 skipped | - 0 skipped
= 17 synced | = 17 synced
----------------- | -----------------
7 Folders | 7 Folders
- 0 skipped | - 0 skipped
- 0 orph/empt| - 0 orph/empt
= 7 synced | = 7 synced
----------------- | -----------------

orph/empt = folder contains no files or only files that are skipped/filtered

Folders found only on left-hand side: 0
Folders found only on right-hand side: 0
Files found only on left-hand side: 0
Files found only on right-hand side: 0

Differing files (not identical): 0

Please check the Global Exclusions on the Program Settings dialog (F8), last tab sheet.

If problems remain, please mention some of the file names.

Not in the list, but what's weird is even in the first backup it skipped 5 files.

Just now, I checked off the boxes for those 5 files stating that they were ready for archiving and they got archived. I will see how it goes tonight, but those 5 files are constantly accessed and modified daily so i would have thought the archive flag would be set. One thing to note, which i'm not sure if it makes a difference, is that those 5 files are accessed from the network and left open on other people's machines.

It's possible that you can't use the Archive filter for these files, or even for the entire job, if the flag is not set by Filemaker.
