I am not a kernel hacker and I have not checked the source. But judging from
the diff there is one thing that look strange to me:

Old code assigned exp_amanda_info->offset before calling simple_strtoul()
while new code calls simple_strtoul() before assignment. This results
in exp_amanda_info->offset pointing _behind_ the parsed number instead
of before the parsed number.

I have no clue what this offset is good for, but if it is used for
anything, I'd expect problems similar to those which you were
experiencing.
