Interesting. Do you think that the behaviour I'm seeing is solely as a result of 'tar' here? Is the behaviour I describe something that you believe *should* *not* happen with AMANDA when using 'tar'? This package of 'tar' is the current default in Debian/Sarge and is updated with various security issues without changing the version number, so it's not entirely clear what version is really there under the hood.
