I'm using Amanda 2.4.2p2 from debian woody packages, anyway this is the
crontab file for the backup user:
0 16 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/amcheck -m ProsaDaily
45 0 * * 2-6 /usr/sbin/amdump ProsaDaily; /bin/mt -f /dev/tape
rewind; /usr/sbin/amverify ProsaDaily >/dev/null; /bin/mt -f /dev/tape
rewoffl
The tape is rewinded before starting amverify. Note that /dev/tape is a
symbolic link to /dev/nst0.

Here it goes with Samba 2.2.7a.

It doesn't complain because EXCHANGE$ is a directory shared on a remote
server which, through NTBACKUP.EXE, acts as backup client for Exchange
5.5 and stores all the backup data on a file called exchangeBackup.bkf
in the EXCHANGE$ directory.
I can go through this and show you this is not the problem:
uranus:~# smbclient //notorius/EXCHANGE$ -U backup
added interface ip=192.168.1.20 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

I can try to upgrade to the last Amanda release, but I think the problem
is elsewhere...
P.S.: I can give two hints to improve the mailing list usability,
even if probably they have been already discussed:
1) Put a prefix before the subject, it would be more easy to
filter and create appropriate rules to avoid shuffling ml's
mail from others (work, friends..)
2) Set the reply-to to amanda-users AT amanda DOT org, or is it just
a client issue?
Thank you,
Fabio
