I don't mind that, but I think a warning should be printed at some point rather than have to notice in a debug file that I misspeeled .amanda.exclude. Is there some notice given? In fact, if that sendbackup behavior still exists in 2.4.3 (I suspect it does), then I think the new amcheck notice should be a warning, not an error. -- Jon H.
