I am having troubles excluding files with amanda and samba.

Here is my dumptype:

define dumptype workstation-millerlu {
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "worksation"
    compress server fast
    priority high
    index yes
    exclude "./Local Settings/Application Data/Google"
}

Currently there may not be a space the pattern of "exclude" or "include".
Patches welcome...

And here in the error I am getting:


FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  dumper: FATAL error [dumper PORT-DUMP: too many args: 14 != 12]
  lukem.com  //newage/millerlu lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed]

Two spaces = two args too much, somewhere deep inside Amanda, indeed.

I think it might have to do with the spaces in my exclude list?

Right thinking!

Try instead:

   exclude "./Local?Settings/Application?Data/Google"

(I didn't try that yet, curious for result however...)

Or: put that path in a file local on the workstation-millerlu
(and avoid having a space in the path of that file :-) ), and
set
   exclude list "/path/to/file/containing/excludepatterns"
