I am trying to find why tar is failing. Here is information, if anyone has
ideas:

'amadmin DailySet1 version' shows where GNUTAR is set:
GNUTAR="/usr/bin/tar"

I verified, and yes, tar is there.

These are in the amanda.conf file:

define dumptype global {
    comment "Global definitions"
    index yes
}

define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    index
    exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar"
    priority low
}

There is only one line in the disklist file:

this.system.consys.com /dev/da0s1a root-tar

this.system is the amanda host (has the tape drive). This partition is the
root partition on the computer.

There is no such file /usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar as specified in
the definition of root-tar (See above), but I tried a dump with that line
commented out, same result.

Thanks in advance for any ideas! --- Eric
