>...  I have examined the index files and they look okay.

Does each line start with a big number, or do they look like this:

  /
  /lost+found/
  /.dt/
  /.dt/sessions/
  /.dt/sessions/home/
  /.dt/sessions/home/dt.session
  /.dt/sessions/home/dtqWaG0a
  /.dt/sessions/home/dt.settings
  ...

If they start with a big number, that's a symptom of a bad version of
GNU tar.  You should be running either 1.12 plus the patches from the
Amanda web page, or 1.13.19 from alpha.gnu.org.

What does "gtar --version" say?

Note that if you use gcc to build GNU tar, some versions are known to
mis-compile it (sigh).  It's probably best to use the latest (2.95.3).
