As a long time amanda user I can pretty well remember that this
requirement has been discussed quite often in the past...
If you have a look at the sourceforge-project "Amanda Backup Win32
Clients" (which has been abbandonned since 2001), there you can find a
small program called "nttar", which nicely backs up (and restores) nt
acls. I recently tested it - looked quite good.
I think it should not be too hard to code a wrapper around this (or to
integrate some changes into the source) to make it react like gnutar -
and then to integrate it into amanda.

Christopher (who would love to see amanda one day back up windoze boxes
natively)
