uhhh, are you sure you have amanda-2.4.2p1 installed, and are you certain
that you don't have a previous version installed somewhere? this looks
suspiciously like you have an older version of sendbackup-gnutar running.
in fact, i just had a close look at the 2.4.2p1 source code, and i
guarantee you that whatever is running and generating the log below is not
2.4.2p1. it's likely 2.4.1x.
if you have the locate command on your system, try 'locate
sendbackup-gnutar' and see what that turns up.
