What version of GNU tar are you using (tar --version)?
The amrecover.*.debug file in the Amanda temp directory might also help.

did.
Just FYI, I don't find it worth the trouble to build just a client.
You're not going to save much space or time, and a couple of the server
tools are useful on the clients at times (which probably means we need

Do you see similar behavior ?
As Joshua said, this is to be expected. Amanda is creating those files
and removing them during the time GNU tar is also backing them up.

Yeah, I've been down that path, too. In my case, I wanted to turn

how about:
The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to use are: ncti16, ncti17.
Fixed. Thanks.

I think the central repository of known issues (like say send-pr used by
