Likely unrelated to your current difficulties, but plain 1.14 gnutar has be reported to have difficulties with amanda. I haven't followed the discussion closely, but I think 1.14.1 and 1.14.2 are both considered ok. A complicating factor is the report that some linux vendors, I think RH was mentioned, supply a 1.14 with the later bug fix patches applied. These work ok also but because they are based on the 1.14 code, that is the version reported. -- Jon H.
