Exclude list and tar on SUSE OES.

[Owen Williams]

Hello,
  I've been struggling with this for a while.  I have this defined in lots 
of places now:

    exclude list "/usr/local/amanda/exclude.conf"

e.g.

define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    index
    exclude list "/usr/local/amanda/exclude.conf"
    priority low
}

but it doesn't create the right command :

/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory / --one-file-system 
--listed-incremental /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/localhost__0.new 
--sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals .

at the client.

Help?

Thanks,

Owen.
