how can it be? here is the DLE:

    diabolus2.rwc.questra.com /export/finance tardump

and the dumptype from my amanda.conf:

    define dumptype tardump {
            comment         "uses GNU tar"
            compress        none
            holdingdisk     yes
            ignore          no
            index           yes
            program         "GNUTAR"
            record          no
            starttime       0001
            maxpromoteday   0
    }

both of these were included in my original email.
