Hi,

I'm new to Amanda and I'm having trouble getting a samba dump to work, 
I hope somebody can help me, please...

My amanda server is a "Redhat fedora core-1" intel, linux server.
I'm able to backup linux client machines OK.
I am not able to successfully backup a samba share.
>>From reading the log file, It looks like the actual tar is running OK,
but there appears to be a problem in the reporting back to the dump
server.

I've included the log from the samba server:
