I didn't quite understand the E-mail report. I don't see anything in
it about *why* /usr failed to write to tape. And tha amdump.<nn> file
you sent is truncated. Did the run abort or was the machine rebooted?
Maybe what you got was the result of an amcleanup done afterward?

The tapes Amanda writes are not tar format. Again, read the URL
mentioned above.
