Are you absolutely certain /bin/tar (that's what Amanda is using) is version 1.13.25? What does "/bin/tar --version" say? Every time this has come up in the past it's been because tar was version 1.13, which is just plain evil. >Stefan John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
