I just tried this on 2.5.0b2 and it gives no problem at all.

Interesting. Thats where it failed for me.

How did you verify that amdump completed successfully? In my
case amdump return without any errors, but the log files showed me
that the dump had failed.

Which errormsg?

I made backup to a vtape.  I received a report by mail, no indication
that something went wrong.
I verified that the curinfo and index files do exist afterwards, and I
can use amrecover, browse the index and even restore a small file
from the backup.
Seems OK, isn't it?
