Okay, so if it isn't a documentation problem then what do we test now?  A
test lab just demonstrated what I already knew.

You know it, but we don't.  And we both would like to know why.

Then I would like to have the config of that test:
amanda.conf, disklist, the contents of the exclude file, etc.

The output of "ls -lR" of the directory that you tested with.
and the corresponding debug files on the client in /tmp/amanda/*.debug

The output of "ls -lR" of the directory that you tested with.
Or maybe even a tar.gz of ~amanda/Test completely, including
all log files amdump* log.*, info-dir and index-dir?
And maybe even the resulting VTape file if not too large?

Don't send the large files to the list, send them to me privately.
I try to duplicate the problem here.


There must be some difference.   And until we can understand it,
and point it to some specific bug (in the code or in the config),
most computer problems look like witchcraft.  (That's also why
the users see systemadminstrators as wizards.)
