Hello again,

Yet another case of the driver reporting 'missing size line from
sendbackup' just before the DLE (~1TB) was entirely in the holddisk...

Here's what the server (2.5.2p1) logs show: 

log:

FAIL dumper yorick /data/nih/nih1 20080116 0 [missing size line from sendbackup]

On the client (2.5.2p1), the amandad/sendbackup/runtar debug files:

Looks like another goose chase to me...
Any ideas on how to debug and track this issue?
