Hi Paul,
This e-mail thread has produce quite a bit of response. All
appreciated. However I am still not clear if I can split my DLE's using
the include and exclude commands. I am under the impression that amdump
runs the backup as root. Should it therefore not have access to all
directories? I have added the information you requested inline below.
Gnutar itself is run as root, but the problem is that gnutar currently
cannot handle *patterns" in includes (only in excludes).
Gnutar has an options "--include-from=file", which specifies a file
with a list of names that need to backed up. Literal filenames, not
patterns.
So the amanda hackers came up with the idea to expand the globs
themselves, and pass the resulting list of literal filenames to the
--include-from option.
It is this reason that the expansion is done only 1 level deep (man
page says "only one slash allowed in patterns"), and that amanda has
to be able to read that one level deep.
What are the permissions of the top level directory
/mnt/data06/Deforest3 ?
Listed below are the directory permissions listed from /mnt and up.
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Nov 2 11:37 mnt

??? group "uucp"??? Weird... OK, I believe you.
You could add amanda to the "uucp" group.
(and in xinetd.conf also set the "groups = yes" parameter to the amandad
service to load additional groups)
And maybe change the permissions of "Imagery" ?
