ahha. thank you very much. I had to do it like this:

riffraff.rfa.org        /raidion/home/     {
    comp-high-tar
    exclude "./techops"
}

With the /raidion_HOME_REST in there amcheck said:

ERROR: riffraff.rfa.org:/raidion_HOME_REST (/raidion/home): selfcheck does not 
support device.

gah .... I'm an idiot. In this case I was trying to do everything
starting from a top level share that includes these "named with spaces"
directories, forgetting that each directory is also shared on it's own
with a "nospacename". Sorry for the noise. Thanks for jogging my memory.

ok. sorry for not finding it in the archives.
