Hi,

I have also noticed this issue and found the basis for my fix here:

The attached patch fixes this behaviour.

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: owncloud-client: Fix sysconfdir path

Somehow sysconfdir was not set correctly so that owncloud searched for
sync-exclude.lst in the relative path etc/ownCloud/sync-exclude.lst instead
of the /gnu/store/...-owncloud-client/etc/ownCloud/sync-exclude.lst.

* gnu/packages/sync.scm(owncloud-client):  Add -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR flag to
configure flags.
