even after changing to gnutar. Does anyone know of more up two date
RH8 RPMS, maybe I will get more control with those?


I would first take a look in /tmp/amanda/sendbackup.*debug on the
client and find out how long actually it does take to do the backup
of those filesystems. Then set "dtimeout" accordingly.

Or maybe you notice some obvious error message in the file, or you
notice that gnutar/gzip dies prematurely etc.
Upgrading amanda won't help when it's the gzip in the pipe that dies.

You can always compile a recent amanda version yourself.
It's actually quiet easy.
