Mike,
include must be a glob expression, not a regex, so "./[a-c]*" is the
correct syntax,
Do /home and /home/aaronson are on the same filesystem?
df /home
df /home/aaronson
Are you using the application 'amgtar' or the program 'GNUTAR'?

Starting with this disklist entry which returned an error:
localhost /home/a-c /home {

include "./[a-c]*"
} 1 local

I double-checked that /home was not symbolically linked to anywhere
else. Then I edited the diskname parameter in the DLE:
localhost HOME:a-c /home {
vhost2-user-tar
include "./[a-c]*"
} 1 local
and an amcheck Daily returned, after the usualy info dir and index dir
not existing and being created on the next run:
ERROR: localhost: [Nothing found to include for disk "HOME:a-c"]
Client check: 1 host checked in 1.303 seconds. 1 problem found.
No love with that, I reverted the DLE to it's original (above) because
Chris' suggestion had rolled in:

Sounds interesting! So I tried that.
localhost /home/./a-c /home {
vhost2-user-tar
include "./[a-c]*"
} 1 local
Unfortunately, an amcheck Daily returned a by-now-familiar message:
ERROR: localhost: [Nothing found to include for disk /home/./a-c]
Client check: 1 host checked in 1.223 seconds. 1 problem found.
Reverting the DLE to original, I then took a crack at it again, based
on Christ's suggestion that the regex was invalid:

Ahh, okay, this makes sense (sorta, since I thought the regex would
catch ANY directories starting with a*, b* c*....) I'll give this new
method a go, however! I fix up the original DLE with the new regex:
localhost /home/a-c /home {
vhost2-user-tar
include "./[a-c].*"
} 1 local
AND THE SURVEY SAAAYS:
ERROR: localhost: [Nothing found to include for disk /home/a-c]
Client check: 1 host checked in 1.241 seconds. 1 problem found.
I then tried mixing John's diskname label with Christ's regex: same
results. I tried Chris' suggestion for the diskname with Christ's
regex: no love.
By all that I've read and all that I've searched, this SHOULD be
working. I'm at wit's end, and I'd really like to get this working
before I'm laid-off on Friday. :)
Anyone have ANY other ideas? Can it be a problem with Amanda 3.3.1
(under Centos 6, with tar 1.26) passing include directives to tar?
Could it be a permission issue with tar? Beuller? Beuller? Anyone?
:)
