I don't know xtar and if it's compatible with gnu-tar. Isn't there a
gnu-tar for your OS?

Dustin thank you. sorry for the delayed response, I was away. Still no luck. the current error (for amdump) is:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  biost1.tau.ac.il  /Users/amanda/sync  RESULTS MISSING
planner: ERROR Request to biost1.tau.ac.il failed: timeout waiting for ACK

I understand that launchd replaces xinetd. Do I have to delete the amanda entry for xinetd? do I have to configure my client to look for the entry in launchd or does that happen automatically? Does that error has to do with this issue or is my problem someplace else?
xtar is compatible, but on 10.4 and above, you should just use GNU tar.

i (am trying to) use GNU tar now.

thank you
Maya
