Alpha-tar is usr/local/alpha-tar/bin/tar --version 
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25

Here is my problem. I am trying to back up several directory, the
directory structure is tarred but several subdirectories are empty or
missing files. For example I am trying to backup the following
directory:

(from disklist)
db1             /oracle/oracle1/app/oracle/admin        user-tar


doing a df in that directory on the remote box, I get this:

df /oracle/oracle1/app/oracle/admin/vault
/oracle/oracle1    (/dev/vx/dsk/oracle-1):  348244 blocks   514315
files


These are the contents of the directory.
bash-2.05a# ls -l
total 10
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   dba          512 Apr 30  2001 bdump
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   dba          512 Aug  8  2000 cdump
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   dba          512 Aug  8  2000 create
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   dba          512 Aug  8  2000 pfile
drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle   dba         1024 Jun 13 10:55 udump

Amrecover from the remote machine is able to get this far, but when I
ls using amrecover into say the directory bdump I get this:

amrecover> ls
2002-07-16 .
2002-07-16 alert_vault.log

but when I do an ls on the actual directory I get this:

bash-2.05a# cd bdump/
bash-2.05a# ls -l 
total 115728
-rw-r--r--   1 oracle   dba      58869186 Jul 16 12:11 alert_vault.log
-rw-r-----   1 oracle   dba       319959 Apr 30  2001
vault_ora_16897.trc

It never backs up the vault_ora_16897.trc file. I've added the backup
user to the root, bin, and dba groups thinking it was a permission
thing. I don't see any errors in the amanda debug files. I'm wondering
why Amanda is just randomly missing files. Anyone else have this same
problem? Any work arounds.
