I've been successfully using amanda for my backups, starting with 2.4.1 and 
now up to 2.4.2p2.  I have a filesystem on one machine that I want to 
backup using tar (yes, I have GNU tar 1.13.19 installed).  The problem is 
that although the backup goes through it's paces, it appears something is 
going wrong.  I see the following in /tmp/amanda/sendsize:

What is this about "No such file or directory"???  Should the items 
specified be files ... or directories???  I have the directories:

/usr/local/amanda/var/
/usr/local/var/gnutar-lists/
