Hello, Paul.
Owner of /etc/amandates is a "bin", and owner-group "bin".
Permissions sets to 0660. File is empty.

Yeap, i install tar-1.13.25,  i did "make clean" and "make distlclean" before 
start new compilation of amanda-2.4.2p2 (without any patches).
All this I have already done before sending  my first message to this maillist, 
but anyway i recieve a same error message.

Thanks for your advise.
