You say you use tar.  But your ps output below says otherwise.
Yes, sorry , indeed I use dump !

Anyway .. we found the solution :-)
It's just a question of rights modes on /tmp on the client stations. Certainly due to misse use of amrecover on clients /tmp , the "restore owner modes on "." [Y,n]" might have been answered Yes :-( ! so just resetting chmod 1777 on /tmp on the clients systems which had lost their indexes corrected the problem. Apperently the dump is "forking" the dump to the amanda server and to a local pipe which finally does a "started index creator: "/sbin/restore -tvf - 2>&1 | sed -e '..." and this restore is done on the local /tmp ! if tmp is not writable, here's the problem I had .

Thanks a lot for your help .
