Hello!

While exploring the recent "GNU tar --one-file-system flag seems to have no effect" issue, I forced some DLEs with 'amadmin force'. My understanding of 'force' has been that it forces the DLE to do a full backup on next run, and then returns to the normal planner behaviour.

However, my forced DLEs are now doing full backup every night. In the e-mail report I always have these lines:

NOTES:
  planner: Forcing full dump of kuller.raad.tartu.ee:/storage as directed.
planner: Forcing full dump of kuller.raad.tartu.ee:/storage/lists as directed.

I tried to unforce these DLEs, but unsuccessfully:

# su backup -c "amadmin BACKUP unforce kuller.raad.tartu.ee /storage"
amadmin: no force command outstanding for kuller.raad.tartu.ee:/storage, unchanged. amadmin: no force command outstanding for kuller.raad.tartu.ee:/storage/lists, unchanged.
# su backup -c "amadmin BACKUP unforce kuller.raad.tartu.ee /storage/lists"
amadmin: no force command outstanding for kuller.raad.tartu.ee:/storage/lists, unchanged.

How do I get these DLEs out of the 'force' state?

BTW, my Amanda server version is 3.2.2
