smbclient in Samba 2.2.5
sendsize in Amanda 2.4.2p2
Linux kernel 2.4.13

amdump ends abnormally when sendsize complains about extra text. In the course 
of finding the extra text, "exclude ..." was removed from the disklist entry 
without affecting the symptom. Finally added a debug statement to get the 
trailing unwanted text displayed in log. ... .debug:

=====
sendsize: debug 1 pid 7460 ruid 11 euid 11 start time Thu Aug 22 15:15:14 2002
/usr/local/libexec/sendsize: version 2.4.2p2
REQ packet is bogus: extra text at end [Files]   <--- the extra text
sendsize: pid 7460 finish time Thu Aug 22 15:15:14 2002
=====

Temporarily, I've treated the symptoms by skipping over more non-whitespace, 
viz., "Files". Hope you can offer a more correct solution.

Thanks.
