John and others who are helping me with this problem heres the latest
increment.....

I thought that it looked a little small, but this is the first time I have
ever tried to get Amanda working, so I was unsure as to what else should be
in there.

>>Can you tell if there are any stray processes running for your Amanda
>>user?
The user that is running is ROOT, so it is possible that there may be a
stray process, do you suggest I reboot the machine and try to run from a
fresh reboot, to ensure ( or at least try to ensure ) that there is no stray
processes?
If a stray process were present how would this affect Amanda?
>> Are there any messages in the system logs about amandad or sendsize?
There is no mention of either in the /var/log/messages file, should there be
somewhere else I should be looking?
However I have just noticed that in the "amdump.1" file the following exists

"error result for host paperbark disk /home: missing estimate" this line,
where it refers to a missing estimate, would this be causing the problem? If
so, why? and how can I/we fix it?
