I am currently playing with this setup.

I got it running with gnutar except that gnutar returns an error 2 even if you 
add the option to ignore failed reads, which then causes AMANDA to go "dump 
failed.  oh well.  no sense getting the file from that client" even though the 
actual tar was successful.  :-(

So now I will play with hfspax.

If it works then I will post my "step by step instructions".
