responding to myself here but seems that this may be due to a samba error? We are using version 3.0.0 and perhaps this does not play nicely with amanda 2.4.4p4 - The backup restored fine though.

Error is a bit a strong word.  Samba seems be a gotten a little
more verbose again.  And amanda is not yet prepared to discard
the more verbose messages.  I have the same issue with logwatch
which sends me tons of "unexpected" logentries on my machines
with samba 3.0 installed.  (Had not yet time/energy to filter
them out again.)

If the strange messages annoy you, you can dive into the source,
edit client-src/sendbackup-gnutar.c, find in the beginning of the file
a table with the regular expressions and their classificiation
and add a pattern that classifies the 3 strange lines as normal.



Anyone know a 'good' 2.4.4p4 and Samba version combo?

In my experience samba 3 works good.  At least the backups are
fine.
