Using a global exclude list seems to work out fine, so thanks for pointing that
out.
Enjoy the weekend!

Yeah - I realized later that you might have meant “leading dot”.
I was actually using ./amanda-exclude-file
to indicate that it was at the top of the DLE. But no dot IN the name.
I prefer to have my exclude-files on the amanda-server, with the actual
config:
/etc/amanda/daily/excludes
contains
root_excludes
var_excludes
you_name_the_DLE_excludes
If I have more than one amanda-config, I either symlink or just refer to
the files from the other directory.
I do it this way because then I have the full config in one place, ready
to tar or commit to git.
Just another way of doing it.
