This message says taper was linking through the multiple holding disk
chunks of the backup image of /common/intranet and one of them apparently
has garbage in its header.

Are you running amdump or amflush when this happens?

If amflush, what's in your holding disk?  Did anything odd happen when the
dump happened into the holding disk, like file system full or anything
like that?  Can you just remove the holding disk chunks for this disk
and force it to do a level 0 again on the next amdump run?
