/home from rc1.server is dumping straight to tape.  Amanda doesn't measure 
the bits as they go over the wire, so it doesn't know how long it'll take 
to finish that partition, or how much data has been written.  You'll have 
to back it out yourself from the average dumprate and the size of the 
partitino.
