here we go again on excludes

Greetings;

I just setup an exclude file to skip that 2.2 gig subdir of /amanda, 
the one with all the daily copies of the archived indices etc in it.

But now the other "client" is complaining it cannot find the exclude 
file!

Where "gene" is the firewall box, and of course that whole /amanda 
tree doesn't exist on that machine.  Will this cause an exit, or will 
it just bitch a lot?  Or would I be better off to just mv that subdir 
down to /, rewrite the scripts accordingly and do away with that 
subdir structure entirely?
