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

Huge thanks to Henrik for solving my earlier problem with .net alerts.
My Linux & Solaris hosts are humming along nicely, but I'm trying to add
a few Macs to the soup and have two minor issues to solve. I've installed
Xymon on my work Mac as a sandbox for this and here's what I'm running
into:
(1) My Mac has a Time Machine volume mounted on "/Volumes/Time Machine Backups".
It's often close to full and with a high percentage of used inodes:
[15:03] macmini:~ % df -h /Volumes/Time\ Machine\ Backups
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/dev/disk1s2 931Gi 900Gi 31Gi 97% 236011707 8094959 97% /Volumes/Time Machine Backups
(2) We have Tripwire installed everywhere in a certain path. The Mac does
not have it installed. I want Xymon to ignore this and stop, rather
than falling down through to the global PROC setting for this path.
My RE smack-fu must be sorely lacking in my old age, because this isn't
working (in analysis.cfg):
HOST=macmini
INODE %^*.Time.Machine.Backups IGNORE
DISK %^*.Time.Machine.Backups 98 99
PROC "/opt/tripwire/te/agent/jre/bin/java" IGNORE STOP
(I'm guessing that in the case of (2), the STOP keyword is not recognized
when used in that file. I do see it picking up on the IGNORE in the
resultant alert e-mail; but then it falls through to the 2 PROC lines
I have at the bottom of the file and I get the alert for no Tripwire
anyway.)
Any help for mount paths with spaces in them, and ignoring a global PROC
setting on an individual host basis?
