If it is the same problem I had, have a look into this zip file above.
If you see big numbers in front of the index entries, I'd say you use
GNU tar 1.13 with an early patch version. I think I used 1.13.7 (??).
With those versions there exist serious problems with Amanda. I installed
GNU tar 1.13.18 and it worked.
