A funny coincidence: I've setup an offsite archival config
for amanda-2.4.4p3 (soon to be upgraded) and due to a silly
mistake of mine one DLE didn't make it to tape. Rather than
doing it over again I just labeled another tape and did

    su amanda -c "/opt/amanda/amanda6/sbin/amdump archival-conf6 bullcalf \
    /data/ipl/ipl10/broche/colindata"

The DLE from the disklist:

bullcalf /data/ipl/ipl10/broche/colindata /data/ipl/ipl10/broche/colindata {
    tar-archival
    exclude append "./ave/*"
    exclude append "./brainvisa/*"
    exclude append "./pd/*"
    exclude append "./t1/*"
    exclude append "./t2/*"
    exclude append "./vaisseaux/*"
}


Problem: that DLE has exclude list and it seems that all excluded
subdirs are making it to tape. Is this the normal/expected behaviour?
