Four files bear today's date:

-rw-------  1 amanda disk 15 May 10 18:05 
sendbackup._home.20060510180517.exclude
-rw-------  1 amanda disk 15 May 10 18:05 
sendsize._home.20060510180502.exclude
-rw-------  1 amanda disk 15 May 10 18:05 
sendsize._home.20060510180514.exclude
-rw-------  1 amanda disk 15 May 10 18:05 
sendsize._home.20060510180516.exclude

Each of them simply contains 'amanda.exclude'
