What version were you using when this worked?

There were some fixes to config-parameter processing in the versions
leading up to v3.5.1. Off hand I wouldn't expect those changes to cause
the symptoms you describe, but it's possible. I will try to look at the
code for amvault and see if anything obvious is going on.
I take it there is no error message?
What happens if you specify a path to a non-existant file, or something
like that?
Depending on what I find in the code for amvault, it might help narrow
in on the problem to have the full command line you are trying to run,
as well as a bit more information on what list of DLEs you want to vault
and which ones are actually getting vaulted instead....

Well, amvault does accept a number of parameters and arguments to
control what gets vaulted, but I guess those might not be sufficient if
your disklist.drs list is long and arbitrary...
