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?

What *.tar.gz files are you expecting to find?  Amanda does not store
images that way.  You might want to read:

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