No, there aren't any.

Yes, I do have these, just Gnutar instead of 'dump', and the hostname
is just 'maulaf'. Could this be the problem?

Well, what actually happens is that sendsize tells me
sendsize: reading /etc/amandates: Is a directory
So this should be a file? Oh, my god, just how stupid can I be?
I somehow understood there has to be a directory /etc/amandates and a
file /etc/dumpdates.
So after I deleted /etc/amandates/ and /etc/dumpdates/ and ran sendsize
again, I got an error message:
OPTIONS maxdumps=1;
FORMAT ERROR IN REQUEST PACKET
and sendsize.debug looks like this:
sendsize: debug 1 pid 16984 ruid 26 euid 26 start time Fri Jan 26
13:49:39 2001

REQ packet is bogus: no program name
sendsize: pid 16984 finish time Fri Jan 26 13:49:39 2001
Trying to run amdump again, it seems not to do anything, 'top' tells
me, it just sleeps all the time, so I killed it, just to see what it
tells me about it.
This time, there were no 'missing estimates', I got this mail from
amanda:
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
These dumps were to tape /dev/null.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

amandad.debug tells me:

which seems ok to me, just as I can't find anything that looks
suspicious to me in sendbackup.debug, which looks like that:
sendbackup: debug 1 pid 17413 ruid 26 euid 26 start time Fri Jan 26

got all connections
sendbackup: doing level 0 dump as listed-incremental:

Yet amdump seems not to do anything anymore. And as I'm just trying to
backup 177 MB to /dev/null/, I think it shouldn't take that long, or
should it?
