I built the entire amanda package... My apologies for the
misunderstanding.  I did an ldconfig, and will find out tomorrow if that
resolved the problem or not.  If ldconfig were the issue, then wouldn't
I see a problem when doing an amcheck on the amanda server?

Gene, the ls -l showed tar, not runtar.  Here is what my runtar shows:

-rwsr-x--x  1 root amanda 9947 Feb 16 10:43
/usr/local/dist/libexec/runtar


I'll update this thread tomorrow, and let you know if the ldconfig
helped at all.  Thanks for the input.
