ah, so absolute paths are not possible here? Using an absolute path for
the exclude-list file in the dumptype definition as I did, would then
lead to the exclusion af ANY directory named "mac" on ANY filesystem
that uses this dumptype? Not what I wanted...

The solution seems to use a _relative_ definition of the exclude-list
file as well:

[amanda.conf]
exclude-list ".amanda-exclude.gtar"

and
[/disk-c1/martin/.amanda-exclude.gtar]
./mac

I'll try this and see if it works.

Many thanks for your help,
Martin
