Is there a way to tell amanda what errors from tar to ignore?  Some sort of
regexp we could program somewhere?  We get a ton of the "file changed" messages
and the "file is a socket, backing up anyway" messages, and they are quite the
pain.  We don't care that a file is a socket, nor that the file changed as we
read the thing.  If we could get amanda to realize those messages aren't to be
interpreted as problems, at least with certain files on certain hosts, that
would help us immensely.
