BTW I'm using Amanda 2.4.2p2 on all of the systems in my backup procedure.
on 'wilder' when i run the command this is the output:
[root@wilder /home]# /bin/gtar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.17

[root@wilder /home]# /bin/gtar --create --file /dev/null --directory /home
--one-file-system --listed-incremental /dev/null --sparse
--ignore-failed-read --totals --exclude-from /home/exclude.gtar .
Total bytes written: 558479360 (533MB, ?B/s)
It appears to get the size correctly as the output of du is:
[root@wilder /home]# du -sh
538M .
/home is just a regular ext2 partition. Again /var and /usr/local work fine,
but I don't know why /home isn't.
Thanks for the help.
