Optional exclude list results in STRANGE report

Hi list,

In danger of asking something that has been asked before (yes, I did try 
some search engines)...

Using Amanda 3.5.1-2+b2 (Debian) I've configured:

> exclude list optional    ".amanda-excludes.gtar"

When making back-ups of UEFI capable hosts the back-up reports back as 
being STRANGE with the following error:

> ? Can't open exclude file '/boot/efi/.amanda-excludes.gtar': 
> Permission denied

I tried adding a property as following:

>  property        append "IGNORE" "open exclude file"

But alas, still STRANGE.

Is this a problem in terms of semantics (maybe a more proper regular 
expression is needed) or am I trying to do an impossible thing?

Hopefully someone is reading this with a similar problem and (again, 
hopefully) solution.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Kees
