I thought that this was exactly what *wasn't* working for you (using amanda)? > separated by a space. I have tried this by running smbclient manually > and it works. Careful now. Multiple command line exclusions may work running smbclient manually (and it probably says so in the samba docs), but amanda may not be able to handle this. smbclient isn't part of amanda. From the looks of the amandad*debug you sent (I think -- I've not been paying close attention to this thread), the multiple excludes created a malformed packet. This is probably due to AMANDA only expecting one argument there, since multiple excludes (non samba of course) belong in an exclude list.
