These messages are ignored in the current version of Amanda.

This may be "fatal" as far as tar is concerned. See below.

This implies you are trying to back up the Amanda index area, which
is almost guaranteed to be active, which tar doesn't like. You might
consider setting up an exclusion list to not back up this area.
>sendbackup: error [/bin/gtar returned 2]
I'm not sure which of the above errors tar is not happy with (maybe both).
You can probably make things better with an exclusion list so tar does
not even descend into the areas that cause it trouble. But you may
have to rebuild Amanda and get IGNORE_TAR_ERRORS defined, either in
client-src/sendbackup-tar.c or by setting up CPPFLAGS before running
./configure (or any number of other techniques).
Note, however, that this will cause Amanda to ignore **all** tar errors.
You'll have to watch the reports closely for what is fatal and what
is not.
