Environment info

• Duplicati version: You're running Duplicati with - 2.3.0.1 - 2.3.0.1_stable_2026-04-24

• Operating system: Debian host using Docker container

• Backend: Docker

Description

Up until recently Duplicati would ignore the #Recycle folder on my Asustor NAS by using the Exclude folder containing filter and using “#Recycle” as the value.

With the UI update I noticed warnings (around the same time).

2026-05-12 05:02:50 +00 - [Warning-Duplicati.Library.Main.Operation.Backup.FileEnumerationProcess-PathProcessingErrorMetadata]: Failed to process extended attributes for path: /docs/User/#Recycle/
FileAccesException: Unable to access the file "/docs/User/#Recycle" with method llistxattr, error: EACCES (13)

The UI correctly deselects this folder but the backend still tries to access during backup

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup Asustor with Recycle bin feature. This creates #Recycle folder which doesn’t allow access to accounts.
2. Setup backup of folder on Linux which includes recycle and setup exclude folder rule.
3. Run backup and observe it still tries to access and gives warning failure.

• Actual result:
  See log about for warning in log.
• Expected result:
  As it used to work, ignore that folder and do not output a warning.

Screenshots

Log shows warning. That is important part.
