I've upgraded my Amanda version since I can't get a clue about some
strange problems at amverify (note that the backup completes regularly
and I need to backup ONLY Windows hosts through smbclient).

After recreating the previous configuration following the new 2.4.4
syntax and changes I get amcheck complaining about the samba exclude
list support.

I've never heard this before... but it would be annoying recompiling
ALSO Samba from source just to include a feature I don't need.

Can anybody explain me what this error means?
