John,
You are correct. I have been staring at these so long I blurred past it this
time. that tells me that it is not partition dependent at least. I am not
getting any core files that I can find in either /tmp/amanda nor in ~amanda
on any of the machines that are failing, nor on the server. This is part of
what is driving me nuts, no trails, just fails.
I've had to fall back to my old system ported over to this machine, but
would still like to make this work.

The tee is caused by having indexing turned on. The dumper terminated
for some reason and there was nothing on the other end of that file
descriptor to write to any more, which caused a "Broken pipe" error.
This is just a symptom, not a real problem. For instance, it is perfectly
normaly when writing direct to tape and the tape fills.

Look at the output. You're still getting the "messed up" messages.
I asked before if you had any core files in /tmp/amanda. Do you? If you
do, please run gdb (or whatever) on them and post the stack traceback.
