Hello Alan!

The disk list in question looks like this:

   localhost       /export_homes1  /export {
            user-tar
            include "./homes/[a-d]*"
   }

From amanda.conf manpage:

           All include expressions are expanded by Amanda, concatenated in one
           file and passed to GNU-tar as a --files-from argument. They must
           start with "./" and contain no other "/".

It seems that Amanda doesn't handle excludes in subdirectories, but only in the "top level" directory of the DLE. Maybe you can get the results that you want by modifying the DLE like this:

localhost /export_homes1 /export/homes {
  user-tar
  include "./[a-d]*"
}
