Argh, that was the error message of an older tar used for tracking 
this down, tar 1.15.91 gives:

sendsize[30619]: time 325.954: spawning /usr/lib/amanda/runtar in pipeline
sendsize[30619]: argument list: /bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory 
/ --one-file-system --numeric-owner --listed-incremental 
/var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/cave__1.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals 
.
sendsize[30619]: time 325.992: /bin/tar: Unexpected field value in snapshot file
sendsize[30619]: time 325.993: /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

That particular file was already written by the same (1.15.91) tar
binary, so it is most definitately a tar bug, isn't it.
--listed-incremental looks broken.
