Fix on handling of multiple matches with globbing in /var/opt/openit/etc/file_space config. Previously selection of the desired account would often fail, giving a wrong account in the data.
The STORAGE_AUTOEXCLUDE_LEVEL now defines the first level as the directory below the top-level directory, e.g. "/*". Earlier the top-level directory itself, e.g. "/" was defined as the first level, causing some confusion. The default is two levels from root-dir, i.e. directories matching "/*" or "/*/*" will be checked for automounted directories with file_space config file empty and STORAGE_AUTOEXCLUDE_LEVEL undefined. "snapshot" directories are now removed by default. Handling of full disk on the collector host is improved.

Accounting of files sometimes needs use of df and ls. This should now work also when there are spaces in file/path name.
