Asunto: Problem excluding with GNUtar

Hi,

I'm having a problem backing up one of my linux hosts with amanda.  I keep getting...

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  linux1       /dev/hda3 lev 0 FAILED [/bin/tar returned 2]

and...

/-- linux1       /dev/hda3 lev 0 FAILED [/bin/tar returned 2]
sendbackup: start [linux1:/dev/hda3 level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/bin/tar
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/bin/tar -f... -
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end
? gtar: ./log/messages: file changed as we read it
| Total bytes written: 61583360
? gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
sendbackup: error [/bin/tar returned 2]
\--------

Obviously /var/log/messages is the problem (/dev/hda3 is /var).  But I followed the instructions in the man pages to exclude this file - from amanda.conf ...

define dumptype always-full-tax {
    global
    comment "Full dump of this filesystem always using tar"
    program "GNUTAR"
    exclude "/var/log/messages"  

try exclude list "./amanda_exclude" 
    compress fast
    priority high
    record no
    index yes
    dumpcycle 0
}  

and in the /var fs edit a file, amanda_exclude with the following entries

    ./log/messages 

and from disklist..

linux1    /dev/hda3 always-full-tax 1 le0

I also tried exclude"./log/messages"  in the dumptype definition but that didn't work either.  Has anyone else had a problem like this.

I'm using amanda2.4.2p2 the server is Solaris 6 and the client is Slackware 7.1.0 with GNU tar 1.13
