Hi, I'm trying to setup amanda (dev branch from github) on a debian sid i386. I've created a test environment as described in the wiki, with virtual tapes and bsdtcp auth, and everything run fine, amcheck and amdump are successful and I get my tape correctly recorded with some valid tar archive on it, except that the archive is empty : it only contains the top directory as if I were dumping an empty dir. The disk I dump is not a symlink or so, and I can tar it manually with the same options as amanda. I checked all the logs and didn't find any error. I feel like I missed some stupid detail but I really can't see where, so any idea is welcome... Just in case, here are my conf files, .amandahosts, and xinetd service file :
