Thanks for you input, Martin. But my situation is a little bit
different than yours. in /.../assembly I have a few thousands
of subdirs, 186 of them starts with a '1'. I just calculated
their total combined size: 11286948 KB or a little less than 11GB.
OK, now look at this amanda report from last night:

I see that /..../assembly_1 was around 98GB which is actually the
entire content of /data/nihpd/nihpd1/data/assembly.
The disklist for this directory:
bullcalf /data/nihpd/nihpd1/data/assembly_1 /data/nihpd/nihpd1/data/assembly {
include "./1*"
high-tar
} 2
hmmm, seems to me that the include thing does not behave as intended.
Maybe I'm just missing something though.
Any comments anyone? I really have to get this working asap!
thanks a million,
jf
