I did read that and did note it, however docs/SAMBA says otherwise. It certainly does not silently ignore it because the backups fail with an exclude statement in amanda.conf. When I put just one file in the exclude statement in amanda.conf it works fine, the file is passed to smbclient and it is excluded from the backup. smbclient in itself supports excluding multiple files because I have invoked smbclient manually and excluded multiple files. I am missing something here?
