10.5: Exclude local iDisk mirror disk from Time Machine

It is a package (which means it is a folder) and not a single file. It is definitely only backing up bands (which are at most 8MB) that have changed within the sparsebundle. Leaving it included has the advantage that if you want to recover the contents of your idisk on a previous day, you could.
