Well, I did, but it does have the problem of not having the 3rd token in
the DLE (before the "{" so amchekc complains about duplicates

Jon's sollution worked great on last nights run, so I think I'll just stick
with it. Having to specify the disk by filesystem instead of device name
actully makes more sense to me in a tar based backup.

So I take it your TV station got flooded? Where is it located? Sounds like
a challenge.

Thanks again to all the helpful listmembers that have patiiently corrected
my multiple mistakes on this. 

Amanda has progressed very far in the yera or 2 since i've actively looked
at it. Of coures it has continued to save my *** all those years without
having to tweak it both at home nad work, so a bit THANK YOU to all the
devlopers also.
