expected and documented  :-)

>From the amanda.conf man page:


    include [ list|file ][[optional][ append ][  string ]+]
          ...
          Note
          For globbing to work at all, even the limited single
          level, the top level directory of the DLE must be readable
          by the Amanda user


The reason is that gnutar has no globbing on the "--files-from=F" option
(while the "--exclude" does use patterns).  So Amanda builds the list
of files/dirs to include herself from the patterns in disklist.
