It looked like running amcleanup after making this change resulted in the
holding directories getting renamed accordingly, though (e.g., from

Would that change have caused this issue?
Yes, it certainly could have.
I suspect that just removing the .tmp files and continuing on with
usetimestamps=yes will get you back on track with no further problems.
Okay, that makes sense. My one concern is this: what if there is data
in those .tmp files that's no longer on the client host? Is there no
way to recover them so amanda can provide me with a backup of them?
(Note: in this particular instance, if the answer turns out to be, "No,
there is no way," it's not catastrophic, but at this point I'm just
curious for future reference.)
Thanks a ton for all of the help!
