Well that's the problem with cygwin... We have little reference. Apparently running level 0 gtar creates a sort of index file, to use in level 1 and compare files that have changed. And it seems that in between the run 0 and 1 gtar cannot read the file it created. If you look at the sendzie debug you should see a command very close to this one gtar --create --file - --directory /local --one-file-system --listed-incremental /local/Amanda/amanda-2.4 .5p1/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/coriolis_local_1.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals . but that will say "gtar --create --file /dev/null ..." Did that one completed without error? Try to run the long gtar command by hand, with --file - and --file /dev/null Tryto extract the comamnd for level 0 and run it... Check your version of gtar.
