I am newly configuring amanda2.4.5 with gnutar.

First test on a section of the file system of the server leads to STRANGE 
errors in logfiles. I've listed the lowest level ones.

What is the cause of these messages. (backup seems to be inorder at a 
superficial glance)
How to fix.

OS RedHat7.3 and gcc 3.2 build

Thanks
Gerrit Hommersom
