Unfortunately, my misfortune extends to more than just one SCO system.  I have built a 
GNU tar on the system, and rerun configure (--with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/tar) after 
"make distclean".  With the following dumptype defined in amanda.conf on the tape
server I assume I am good to go.

define dumptype SCOcvs-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "SCO cvs dumped with tar"
    compress client best
    index
    exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/BackUp1/exclude.gtar"
    priority high
}

Thanks,
