For me, amverify refuses to run a verify on tar backups made with
any program that isn't called tar. For instance, I installed a
custom-compiled tar on a freebsd machine and called it gtar.
Amverify thinks it doesn't know how to handle gtar, even though gtar
is gnu tar 1.13.25. I even put some symlinks on the backup server;
/usr/local/bin/gtar points to /bin/tar, but this didn't help either.
