Hey, guys.
You're most certainly right. I've modified my disklists to use
/export/home as the root. I'll let you know tomorrow how the backup goes.
For what it's worth, I did check the "disklist" manpage ;)
Thanks again, Toomas and Jean-Louis.

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]*"
}
