Hi,

Got this client (Amanda-2.5.1p2 same as server) for which a few DLEs
with includes don't work, ie the include debug files are empty and the
DLE backups nothing. Turns out that some dirs leading to the DLEs are
700 to some user and so amanda can't stat below the
read-write-exec-user-only directory. First time I encounter this. I
though runtar being suid to root would not be affected by this...

DLE:
                                                       
gertrude concussion2_jenkai_05 
/export_raid02/data-concussion-concussion2/jenkai/McGill/analysis/fMRI/individuals
 {
    tar-bsdtcpauth-100
    include "./hockey"
}

In the diskpath ".../McGill/..." is 700 to some user:

# ls -ld /export_raid02/data-concussion-concussion2/jenkai/McGill
drwxr-----  4 jenkai ptitolab 35 Jan 16 13:30 
/export_raid02/data-concussion-concussion2/jenkai/McGill/

and the include is empty (after running amcheck):

ls -la /tmp/amanda-conf9/selfcheck.concussion2_jenkai_05.20070118135050.include
-rw-------  1 amanda disk 0 Jan 18 13:50 
/tmp/amanda-conf9/selfcheck.concussion2_jenkai_05.20070118135050.include

If I make that dir 755 (say) all is good and the include debug file
shows "./hockey" as it should. 

Is this the expected behaviour?

thanks!
jf
