Ok, Jean-Louis, I think you nailed it!  Here's what I did:

I changed my amanda.conf to include a second dump type only for fc5 systems:


######################################
# For most Linux (Fc17+):
######################################

define dumptype hard-disk-tar {
        hard-disk-dump
        #index yes
        holdingdisk no
        comment "Back up to hard disk instead of tape -  using tar"
        program "GNUTAR"
}


######################################
# For FC5 Linux:
######################################

define dumptype hard-disk-tar2 {
        hard-disk-dump
        #index yes
        holdingdisk no
        comment "Back up to hard disk instead of tape -  using tar"
        program "GNUTAR"
# needed for old protocols in fc5:
        auth "bsd"
}


Then I changed the disklist entry like so:

#fc5client.analogic.com /usr/local/bin hard-disk-tar
fc5client.analogic.com /usr/local/bin hard-disk-tar2

And the amcheck result was good!

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 2.398 seconds.  0 problems found.




The dump succeeded as well!


I think that solves it!! THANK YOU Jean-Louis!!!!
