Hi Tru, thanks for getting back to me!

I dug a little further, and actually I think it's quite the
contrary (in our end that is) -- it seems the dvd images were
_supposed_ to be excluded but who made so didn't get the exclude
correct...

We don't seem to be too low on disk space right now so I can't
say why the images was (tried) to  be excluded.  I'll ask around
and if it turns out we have to get rid of them I'll let you know.
