I prefer to have my exclude-files on the amanda-server, with the actual 
config:

/etc/amanda/daily/excludes

contains

root_excludes
var_excludes
you_name_the_DLE_excludes

If I have more than one amanda-config, I either symlink or just refer to 
the files from the other directory.

I do it this way because then I have the full config in one place, ready 
to tar or commit to git.

Just another way of doing it.
