No amgtar debug files.

Performing an amadmin Daily disklist shows that each uses program
"GNUTAR" in it. Checking the amadmin '' version that Gerrit recommended
shows:

> Do the amanda user can read /home?
If I put the directories into the disklist, as individual DLEs, like this:
/home/aaronson
/home/aferton
/home/amigos
/home/archery
/home/blank
/home/borders
/home/brynwyn
/home/caronwyn
/home/cirque
/home/common
Then they are backed up without any issues, but they cause problems with
the glob {include "./[a-c]*"}
However, as the amandabackup user, when I cd /home and then ls -lah I
get a permission denied. This could be the reason the glob directive is
failing, since it cannot scan the contents of that directory to put
together an accurate include list for tar.
Unfortunately, each /home/username is owned by username:username as the
UID:GID. It now looks like I need to figure out a way to get the
amandabackup user access via a groupID.
Thanks!
