The required comment ...
use of hostnames rather than localhost is recommended.

The exclude directive can be given two modifiers, "list" or "file".
It defaults to "file". So your directive is the equivalent of
exclude file ".amanda-excludes".
The "file" modifier says you want to exclude a single file named
.amanda-excludes. Not what you really are trying to do.
The modifier "list" is used to specify the name of a file containing
a list of exclude patterns. So you want the "list" modifier.

I've never seen the word "pattern" put in an exclude file.
Maybe it is optional, but I do not see it in the docs either.
Likewise I've never seen the pattern in the exclude files quoted.
