Ouch, gnutar s/b minimum version of 1.13-19, prefereably 1.13-25, 
last time I knew -25 it was on alpha.gnu.org (I think thats the 
right address)

gnutar _must_ be available in your $PATH for the user doing the 
amanda build at the time amanda is configured.  And because its 
easy to forget the configuration options passed, I always use a 
script that does each new version just like the old one I'm about 
to overwrite.  Highly recommended, saves ones hair and sanity 
later.  :)  I could email you mine if you'd like, or its been 
posted a few times here already.
