I think this is due to amanda calling gnutar with --one-file-ystem:

(from /tmp/amanda/runtar*.debug:

running: /bin/tar: /bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory /var

--one-file-system \

--listed-incremental

/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/localhostImap_0.new --sparse \

--ignore-failed-read --totals --files-from

/tmp/amanda/sendsize.Imap.20030524155057.include

and from tar(1):

[...]
    -l, --one-file-system
              stay in local file system when creating an archive
[...]

I wonder why this would be required though. should this not be an option?
