I'm in the process of moving my Amanda server from a HP-UX machine to a
Linux one. The new machines name is debian. 

I'm having problems with the tar exclude feature on the new tapejost
itself. Heres the info

Now clearly the files I wan't to exclude, are not being excluded! Also
what's with the Amanda files themselves, that it's complaining about?

The holding disk is /dev/hdf1, so that should not be related to the
problems with this disk.
