Well... I was a bit tricky but I managed to make this work with Amanda 2.4.3b2 
and W2K clients (not NT4). The major problems in fact were to transform this 
slight piece of code into a W2K Service (to make it work even if you have not 
an Administrator account always opened) (quite a bit tricky to to find 
information at Microsoft's). Another problem was due to the Windows flag 
"archive" that seems to be read by Amanda exactly like the Unix "executable" 
flag.
Now I am backuping some W2K servers, in production. Everything goes well :)
