I thought the symlink would avoid the recompile since both names would
be available. However I think I got the problem mixed up. The problem is
that amverify **on the server** sees /bin/tar in the header and doesn't
deal with it because it doesn't match what it thinks tar is supposed
to be.
And since you gave the server a "strange" name for tar (the two basenames
do not match), I don't think 2.4.2 is going to help either.
In the doonefile() function in amverify, there is a long string of if/elif
statements that figure out what program to use. I think you'll need to
add another one like this before the first reference to $DUMP:
elif [ X"$TAR" != X"" -a X"$2" = X"/bin/tar" ]; then
CMD=$TAR
ARGS="tf -"
