Eric Blake:
/usr/bin/find: /c/System Volume Information: Permission denied
Not a problem - you can't find details about certain in-use system files.
I don't think that was the question. If you note at the end of his
message, he gives the command invocation, which included that string in
--prunepaths. That is, it's not the "permission denied" that's raising
issues, but rather that the exact string passed to --prunepaths is still
being searched. (I believe he escaped the space characters but I could
be misremembering.)
Likewise for some of the other paths in the report. They should already
be discarded via --prunepaths, but they're being searched anyhow, producing
various secondary errors.
