I used to use Amanda, and I'm grateful for many (!) years of good
service from it, but I finally got tired of changing tapes and
worrying about them, and I didn't want to buy expensive new tape
equipment and even-more-expensive tapes just to keep using Amanda.

relevant, really.)

nothing gets written to tape. There's a warning:

Well, I lied. amcheck worked OK, but amflush 2.5.1 refuses to flush
the dumps made with 2.5.1p2 on the holding disk, saying:

Dear Kevin, et al.,
My bug in which Amanda created its dump-holding directory with
permissions that made it impossible for it to write on that directory
--- it's fixed. The fix was to change the ownership of one or more of
the files in /home/amanda. I'm not sure which file ownerships made

(I sure hope I can get this thing stabilized before going to Leipzig
for the Topic Maps -- Research & Applications conference on
October 11-12 (www.tmra.de).)

Well, we're getting there, but 2.5.1 still doesn't quite work for me,
this time because of what looks like an Amanda permissions bug.
The only work-around I can see is to have Amanda be super-user.
Here's what happens...
