The gzip wrapper script on the amanda-gpg page is buggy. It should
redirect stderr to /tmp/amanda/gpg.debug, but as it is it redirects
stdout, so none of your data makes it to tape. To make it work, in the
'dump_to_stdout' function, change
${gzip_prog} ${gzip_flags} >/tmp/amanda/gpg.debug
to
${gzip_prog} ${gzip_flags} 2>/tmp/amanda/gpg.debug
