Hello,

I have recompiled AMANDA undefining GNUTAR_LISTED_INCREMENTAL_DIR. I
have verified that now the --newer flag is passed to GNU tar, together
with --incremental (instead of the standard --listed-incremental). But
still, some level 1 estimates are huge, even if the corresponding level
0 was done the day before. I checked the ctimes (with ll -c) and I
realized that on exactly those filesystems (vfat ones) the ctime was set
somewhat unconveniently far in the future:

total 1064
-rwxrwxr-x   1 chris    windows     74649 Feb  9  2035 1542ccfg.exe
-rwxrwxr-x   1 chris    windows    288433 Feb  9  2035 aspi32.exe
-rwxrwxr-x   1 chris    windows    115200 Feb  9  2035 aspichk.exe
-rwxrwxr-x   1 chris    windows     49654 Feb  9  2035 cf154x.exe
-rwxrwxr-x   1 chris    windows    536645 Feb  9  2035 dosdrvr.exe
drwxrwxr-x   2 chris    windows      4096 Dec 30  1979 .
drwxrwxr-x   7 chris    windows      4096 Dec 30  1979 ..

It is no wonder that --newer does not work either - for this to happen I
would have to wait a little... I searched through "Essential system
administartion", "Linux in a nutshell" and the man pages, but could not
find any hint: How do I change the ctime of a vfat file?
