Thanks Gene! Hopefully you've answered my question without me needed to ask it :o)
I'm assuming I need to upgrade tar on the client machine, not the amanda server...? Are there any source tarballs of tar floating around? The tar located: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/ is 1.13.19 which comes with RH7.1... there's an rpm for 1.13.25 but i'll need to upgrade some libs error: failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3) is needed by tar-1.13.25-4 which I'm not keen to do unless I really have to.

If you are using dump, it knows nothing about |reiserfs.
