Hi, Brian,

If there was no gnu-tar at compile-time, your amanda-binaries know nothing
about gnu-tar. Simple as that.

Depends on the configure-options of your old server. You could compile
the new server-binaries into other directories and so the two servers
would not disturb each other.

(/usr/local/etc/amanda vs. /usr/local/etc/amanda-new, for example)

If there is only one new server and only one old server, it would be
worth the effort of upgrading to 2.4.4p2 on both from my point of
view. AFAI remember you think about that for quite a while now ... ;-)
