OK, folks, this thread has been a while coming, but I wanted to mention that it's been fixed. We discovered that on Michael's system, in whatever context amandad runs, isspace(0x20) == 0. That is to say, it's not thinking in ASCII for some reason.
The fix, in r1310, is to use Glib's g_ascii_isspace(), which (as you might guess) always uses ASCII regardless of any system settings. For the moment, this is appropriate everywhere in Amanda, and it will remain true in the on-wire and on-disk formats. At some point, we'll support Unicode in the configuration file, but that's not a current project. Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
