Thanks to Gerrit, Brian and Jean-Louis. I'll be responding to them in this message

Hello Gerrit, thanks for chiming in!!>> include "./[a-c].*"

Good point, thanks!

localhost /home/a1      /home {
vhost2-user-tar
include "./aaronson"
} 1 local

And an amcheck seemed to work:
Client check: 1 host checked in 1.220 seconds.  0 problems found.

So, it appears that the ./ is correct, which follows what Jean-louis follows with:

Yes, they are on the same filesystem:
bash-4.1$ df /home /home/aaronson
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1            935102536 420335640 514756896  45% /
/dev/vda1            935102536 420335640 514756896  45% /

I *think* that amanda was configured --with-program GNUTAR, but it was compiled before I took over. Is there a way to check, via a debug file or log?

Starting point is /home and then the include directive is for "./[a-c]*" And all subdirectories are lower-case, except the numbered which will get "./[0-9]*" as their include directive.


Thanks so much,
