Hi Mitch,

amanda create the usda01afs:usda01_b_.*.backup_0.new file, then it pass it
has argument to gtar, gtar read it and rewrite it, that the step that
probably failed, maybe gtar wrote a log to sendbackup.*.debug

As gtar didn't rewrite the file (it probably removed the old file) then
amanda can't rename it to the new name.

This should not be a fatal error. The backup is good.
