By the same token, I'm not familiar with ACLs, but it looks to me
as though you gave the "amanda" user "rwx" permissions on the
home directories.  It should suffice to give that user "x" on
/export/home/*, and "r" on /export/home/*/.amanda.exclude.  In
particular, write permission shouldn't be needed at all.

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the
drum kit around during songs.
