Oh, ok, so you specify the path to the exclude list relative
to the dir specified to be backed up, e.g. 

/export/home/exclude.gtar
/exclude.gtar

And have this as a disklist :

# hostname      diskdevice      dumptype        spindle interface
server          /               normal          0
server          /export/home    normal          0

And each client specified the exclude list in their amanda.conf like so :

exclude list "./exclude.gtar"

Am I reading that correctly?
