I'm not an amanda coder.  Now that we've got that out of the way, I 
have in the past 30 or so years, written some code.  Based on that, 
it does seem to me that its a solvable problem, either by fixing 
amverify, or amdump to not write the "I know its gonna be short and 
incomplete" file in the first place.  In the interests of time 
efficiency, I'd vote for the latter solution if given the choice.
