Just wanted to thank all the folks who generously gave me their time in trying
to straighten out my Amanda problem.
The system was so messed up, with bits and pieces of rpm- and source-installed
versions mixed together, that I just stripped out everything I could find and
installed from the latest tarball, then restored my disklist and config files.
Everything seems to be running okay now, with a few minor problems that I'll
ask about next.
Thank you all, again.

I see two problems here Kevin.
1. It appears you have some leftover rpms installed, and its finding
those first. Do a "rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep amanda`" (those are
backticks!) and then reinstall _your_ build.
2. If the filesystem is indeed too big, then you will have to
convert from dump (the general consensus here seems to be that its
less than desireable) to tar, which because its file oriented, will
allow you to break the filesystems down into subdir entries, each
of which will then fit on a tape. I prefer to try and keep each
disklist entry at less than half a tape, and have 39 entries in the
disklist for this home machine with its 105gigs of drives, and a
3.8 gig tape.
