These are the Amanda processes on the client side of a second DLE that

The fact that it's doing a 'tar -tf -', though, in conjunction with the
errors from amstatus when I finally killed it, indicated that it was
still in the estimate stage:
Actually not. The tar cmds you see above are used for creating the
index, and that's done while doing the real backup.
Strange thing is that I would expect to see a "gzip --best" too:
the index stream is always compressed with this command, no matter
what the compression directives are that you specify in amanda.conf.
The estimate phase can be recognized by "--file /dev/null" in the
tar arguments.
Maybe set "index no" and see if you get a different output?
