Does "/h2" on machine1 exist? Or is it named "/ha2"?
Why do you have a different name here?
The possibility to give a label to the share is
to do something like:

machine1 /home /snapshot/home comp-user-tar

Here you make a backup of the the filesystem "/home"
but you you do this by backing up the snapshot filesystem
mounted under /snapshot/home.

Or something like this:

machine1 /homeAN /home {
        comp-user-tar
        include "./[a-nA-N]*"
        }
machine1 /homeREST /home {
        comp-user-tar
        exclude "./[a-nA-N]*"
        }

Here you make a backup of the same share twice, but with
a complementing include/exclude option.  Handy to split
a large filesystem into multiple DLE's.

But labeling a DLE different than it's physical name, is
just plain confusing.  Which one is real?

machine1 /Label-Group1 //meosis/users {
 comp-user-tar
 exclude "./user1" "./user2" "./user3" "./user4"
}


Here you have a samba-share on host meosis, to be backed
up by smbclient on machine1.  (samba implementation for amanda
cannot do multiple excludes (yet)

Is that what you want?  Is smbclient compiled in on the amanda
software on "machine1"?

It also helps specifying which version of amanda (on server and client)
you are using.


Where could I have gone wrong?


In reading the docs?   :-)
