Make two nearly identical dumptypes, but give one the base dir and an
exclude pattern.  Call this one A.

Give the other one a full path to the desired directory and no exclude
file.  Call this one B.

Then use a dumptype of A or B in the disklist entry.

Here is my example of the disklist file.

webmn.checkpt.com sda1 a {
       comp-root-tar-a
       exclude "./var/www/htdocs/jobfiles/*"
       } -1 local

webmn.checkpt.com sda1 b {
       comp-root-tar-b
       } -1 local

Sample dumptypes.

define dumptype comp-root-tar-a {
   global
   program "GNUTAR"
   comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
   index
   exclude "./var/www/htdocs/jobfiles/*"
   priority low
   compress client fast
}

define dumptype comp-root-tar-b {
   global
   program "GNUTAR"
   comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
   index
   include "./var/www/htdocs/jobfiles/*"
   priority low
   compress client fast
}

Here are the errors that I receive.

amcheck: could not load disklist /usr/local/etc/amanda/amanda.conf/disklist


What am I doing wrong?
