The amdump I'm doing right now is looking good: the sendsize.*.include files for the var/spool/imap/user is non-zero (and its contents make sense). I guess the problem was that the directory var/spool/imap/user was not readable by amanda. Although gnutar is performed as root, and therefore there are no permission requirements, the include files are performed as amanda.
Let me strongly suggest that a paragraph explaining that the base directory in the DLE *must* be readable by amanda, so that it can build the include file. Maybe an alternative way is to let the program that builds the include files to be setuid root. Thank you all for all the help provided.
