I upgraded my amanda server from redhat 6.2 to redhat 7.1 and upgraded

exclude list specified in dumptype to be an absolute path. It might be
useful if amanda also accepted a relative path and interpreted it as relative

exactly the files at the time of the incremental, not any files
which were present during the full but removed before the incremental.
