Thanks for replying, Jean-Louis.
I have trouble finding them for the host AND partitions in question.
I can only find the sendbackup.*.debug files for the tape host itself
but not the client machines (none of them).
They should be in /tmp/amanda but they are not (except on the
tape host itslef). Bugger. Need to do some research.

Jobst,
What you do looks good, post the sendbackup.*.debug file.
