It has been specified in the dumptype, I think since before I started
useing it it the late '90's. I tend to keep my named exclude lists in
my /GenesAmandaHelper-0.61 directory. Clutters it some, but it seems
handier to have a fixed location, but it is on a per client basis, so
the excludes are unique to the client, achieved in the dumptype, which
is unique to that client, sometimes 4 or more per client as os stuff is
on the install cd if the disk should choke and die.
