Surprisingly, I actually thought about that after I ran the earlier test 
(mainly because I saw that GNUTAR was UNDEF on my Solaris machine, but it 
worked anyway).  I looked at the code and saw the GNUTAR dumptype will default 
to regular tar if it can't find gtar when amanda is configured (I think).  
Nonetheless, I'm happy to try any suggestions, so I recompiled the client and 
tried again.  Here are my results:
