Well, that's a separate issue. If you suspect a false positive,
please get a full pcap of the transfer of the traffic, and file it via
the false positive report format you can find on the snort.org website.

D'oh... You guys were spot on.
It turns out that Debian is just a bit too smart at times... They have
their own config file with a few entries (inluding home_net) that it
uses, instead of those in the snort.conf file.
Thank you guys for spotting this.
It's a bit weird though, that the rule fires at all, because from
what I
can gather from the server-logs, there are no Excel files on it, only
Word Documents, and the Word Docuemnt that was downloaded when this
alert fired, is not malicious according to www.virustotal.com so I
doubt
there is anything fishy in it.
