[Xymon] Xymon on Mac OS X: Time Machine volumes; stopping after IGNORE

Thanks to Adam Goryachev, Jeremy Laidman, and the mysterious "Paul T Root"
at Century Link for responding.

I wasn't familiar with EXHOST (more examples in the .cfg files would
be helpful, Mr. Author sir), but I used "Paul"'s solution for the
Tripwire exclusion and it works great:

"For 2, Instead of having tripwire in your defaults, have it in the last entry
 before defaults like this:

HOST=* EXHOST=macmini
	PROC "/opt/tripwire/te/agent/jre/bin/java" 1 1 red"

Thanks for that - I can use it in other places, like on my Linux RAID
boxes where all but 2 of them run a 3ware daemon, etc.

Anyway, back to Time Machine and volumes with spaces, unfortunately I'm
still getting the INODE alerts.

I've tried every RE in Jeremy's post and none of them are working.  :-(

(As Jeremy and "Paul" pointed out, apparently when I am editing files
 at 4 AM, the dyslexia kicks in and I biffed the RE.  Fixed now.)

Maybe if I show you the alert message it will help.  I'm baffled by the

"<!-- ID=/Volumes/Time Machine Backups  --> /Volumes/Time Machine Backups"

string construct in the tag I'm seeing, and wondering if that string
isn't what is screwing things up with all these RE's I've been trying.
