This doesn't resolve the question about the trailing "$", but what
happens when you try
$ /usr/sbin/amdump XXXX -o reserve=0 --no-taper MACHINE =/dir/subdir/name/2019
?
(That is a literal "=" in front of the final DLE path argument.)
That should turn on "exact match" mode for that DLE pattern, which
hopefully will match only the single DLE you actually want to match
here....
