Well, it looks like you'll have better luck than me. In my poking
around to find out what the answer to my issue was, I may have bumped
into the answer to yours:
"On SunOS 4.1.3, HP/UX and possibly other systems, GNU tar 1.12 will
report incorrect output sizes, because printf does not understand '%llu'."
The above is from http://www.amanda.org/patches, and has the patches to
fix same.
Note that there are also some issues with GNU tar 1.13, which are also
addressed.

It is bewildering that amcheck works, but amdump would fail,
but then
amanda was written to have clients out there, so this is a little
beyond it's
scope. I am not a C programmer, but I am going to continue to *hack*
at this
to try and get it to work.
If anyone else out there has already solved this problem,
please by
all means send the fix. I really don't need to re-invent the wheel
Thanks.

Hey, Paul: yah; I'm already using tar instead of dump.

Yeah. It's actually the libraries, etc., that're giving me the most
grief. Guess it's time to hunker down and just get 'em all.

True 'nuff, but I wouldn't know where to begin. Think I'll take the
"compile, darn you" approach. Assuming I get it to work, is there
anywhere that I should put the binaries and/or patches/HOWTO for
public consumption?

P.S. I should explicitly thank Eric Schnoebelen as the guy who was
kind enough to send me the patches for Amanda under HP/UX. Thus far,
I've seen nothing wrong with them, but rather with my "development"
suite (ha!) under HP/UX. See
http://www.google.com/search?q=Amanda+HP%2FUX for the dialog.
