Redhat 7.0 w/tar 1.13.17
Solaris 8 w/tar 1.13.19
amanda 2.4.2p2

I have an exclude list that looks like:

/proc
/devices
/tmp
/temp
/var/lock
/var/spool/postfix/private
/spool/postfix/private
/var/tmp
/lost+found
*..LCK

But amrecover tells me that amanda is still backing up these
directories. For example:

amrecover> cd tmp
/tmp
amrecover> ls
2001-12-03 .
2001-12-03 .font-unix/
2001-12-03 amanda/
2001-12-03 ssh-hHR25341/

>From / the command:

tar -cvl -X .exclude -f /dev/null .

Indicates that /tmp being excluded up but amanda _is_ backing it up.

So how the frell do I get these directories excluded for real?
