I *think* I need a wet warshrag & some of grandma's lie soap.  I did all the 
prep on that drive, and did not reboot, just remounted, so the kernel still 
*thought* /dev/sdc1 was a 200mb partition I was going to use for a boot 
partition, no damned wonder it failed, but it chose a poor way too demo that 
the disk was full.  It took df to make me see that.

So, I've rebooted to a freshly built 2.6.24-rc7, killed all traces of previous 
runs, made new vtapes yadda yadda.

Humm, it looks as if I'm going to have to re-write my helper scripts to 
specify the exact path of every utility in the closet, its still using the 
older runtar from 2.5.2p2.  Your moving things around is gnawing on my 
ankles.  I don't think its going to find the amcheckdump thing either.  
Grrrr.

So I may as well kill it right now, damn.  Hopefully that's fixed, all cleaned 
up and running again.
