Which tar are you using? It must be gnutar.
If it is gnutar, which version is it?

Just a guess here, but I presume that since amanda is waiting on a
response from tar, and tar has errored out, that amanda skips this
item in it's DLE because of this error.
Does this sound reasonable?
Now, if that's the case, I either need to figure out how to edit what
commands amanda is sending to the tar program and remove the offending
commandline flag, or downgrade the version of tar that is on the newly
updated server.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
