No.  From docs/SAMBA:

Smbclient only supports excluding a single file from the command line,
not a file of patterns like GNU tar.  So "exclude" is supported from a
dumptype but not "exclude list".

If you need multiple excludes, you may want to try to get amanda working 
under cygwin on the 'doze box itself.
