Forgot about /tmp/amanda. sendsize shows: calculating for amname '/export/acmap1', dirname '/export/acmap1' sendsize: getting size via gnutar for /export/acmap1 level 0 sendsize: missing exclude list file "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar" discarded sendsize: spawning /usr/freeware/libexec/runtar in pipeline sendsize: argument list: /usr/freeware/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory /export/acmap1 --one-file-system --listed-incremental /var/amanda/gnutar-lists/orca_export_acmap1_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals . runtar: error [must be invoked by root] Looks like amanda was compiled with --with-user=root?
