That looks like a GNU tar listed incremental file.  Those should
go wherever you set --with-gnutar-listdir when you ran ./configure.
That defaults to $localstatedir/amanda/gnutar-lists, and $localstatedir
defaults to $prefix/var, and $prefix defaults to /usr/local.

Take a look at the /tmp/amanda/sendbackup*debug files on the client.  They
will probably list these files as the argument to the --listed-incremental
option.

You can also look for "listed_incr_dir" in /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug on
the client.  That will confirm what the base directory is set to.

There is no way to fix this except by "make distclean" and running
./configure over again with a "better" value for --with-gnutar-listdir
and then re-installing the client.
