The problem is that amanda it's always failing to estimate
the size for this disklist entry (DLE).

This is from log.20041008.0
FAIL planner pi /scratch 20041008 0 [disk /scratch, all estimate failed]

What is in the debug file on the client /tmp/amanda/sendsize.DATESTAMP.debug ?

How long did it take?

Not completely clear from your post: did other DLE's on the same host
did get a good estimate?  Do they use dump instead of tar?

When running "runtar" by hand on the client, did you run that as user
amanda or user root?
