I am unable to read your mind through your tinfoil hat.  You will have
to provide me with details.  I am naturally inclined to suspect operator
error over an actual bug in the planner.  If you want someone to
investigate the problem I suspect you submit your amreport output, the
contents of your amanda logfile for the session in question, and the
contents of the amandad.debug file from the client.

Perhaps you should read this:
