This has the hints of leftover rpm installs of amanda.  If you did 
the default prefix, then everything for the configs is in 
/usr/local/etc/amanda/configname and audit trails, indices and such  
will be in /usr/local/var/amanda/configname.

However, the path to the exclude file is obtained from the working 
copy of configname/amanda.conf, so you may want to move the configs 
from /etc/amanda to /usr/local/etc/amanda if those are the ones you 
really want to use, and personally I'd set that amanda.conf so it 
looked in /usr/local/etc/amanda for that exclude file.  I'd druther 
have all the variables in one location myself, but as long as it 
exists where it looks, it should be ok.
