This isn't what I meant, the disklist entries don't have to be that 
complex at all.  They should look like this:

coyote  /home                   comp-coyote-tar 1       local
gene    /home                   comp-gene-tar   2       le0

Now, if you have a /home/jeremy/data

webmn.checkpt.com /home/jeremy/data comp.coyote.tar 1 local

and a 

webmn.checkpt.com /home/jeremy/data/private comp-gene-tar 1 local

that you don't want in the /home/jeremy collection, you add the 

./private

line to the exclude files contents, which in your examples would be:

    exclude list "./var/www/htdocs/jobfiles/*"

First, you are missing the 'yes' on the index line

For the DLE's you quoted, this is correct, you do have 2 definitions 
for sda.  This is wrong because it names the raw device, not 
the /partition or /path/to/dir on the device.

Now for dumptypes, here for uncompressed directories:
-----
define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    priority low
}

define dumptype coyote-tar {
        root-tar
        exclude list "/amanda/.config-bak"
}

define dumptype gene-tar {
        root-tar
}
-----
And for compressed directories:
-----

define dumptype comp-root-tar {
    root-tar
    comment "Root partitions with compression"
    compress client best
    comprate 0.40, 0.44
}

define dumptype comp-coyote-tar {
        comp-root-tar
        exclude list "/amanda/.config-bak"
}

define dumptype comp-gene-tar {
        comp-root-tar
}
-----

Anytime you include another dumptype, it must have previously occured 
in the file, forward references don't work.  Also for the picky, the 
index = yes line is in my 'global'

Does this help to visualize what you need to  do?

Also, this is *my* method, there are in fact probably at least 4 or 5 
other ways to draw a ring around the bush containing the rabbit 
you're going to have for lunch here, all of which will do the job. :)
