Thanks

Backup programs like dump, tar, smbclient generate lots of messages that are
informational fluff.  Amanda has hard coded lists of things to "not worry
about".  Others amanda knows to print error reports about.

When one of the programs changes its fluff, sometimes even simple spacing
changes, amanda may recognize the message as one to report as an error or
ignore.  These get reported as "strange".

Some future version of amanda will have adjusted for the samba changes.
