Yes -- you *must* use GNU tar.  But, depending upon your OS, /usr/bin/tar, 
may be GNU.  Try '/usr/bin/tar --version'.

Install GNUtar (if necessary), then recompile amanda specifying the 
correct location.

These are defaults compiled into the various amanda bits.  Look at the 
output of './configure --help' in the amanda source directory to see where 
the defaults come from.

It's probably a permissions issue.  What user/group are you running amanda 
as?  Are you using inetd or xinetd?  Did you do the install as root?  What 
OS?
