You also have to set up the NFS mounts so root == root because Amanda
runs tar as root.  They are often configured so root turns into "nobody"
for security and this would be a bad thing for backups.

This comes up here every once in a while.  I did a very quick search
and didn't find the person I'm thinking of, but someone came up with
a mechanism for doing these backups (short of the yet to be completed
DUMPER-API, which is the real solution).  Maybe they will respond,
or you could search the mailing list archive a little harder than I did.
