That is very fascinating. I don't think it is a tar problem, but the nature of 
the problem is not immediately obvious to me. Perhaps you can do the 
following:

1) Remove /tmp/amanda
2) Run amrecover (on the server)
3) Attach all the files in /tmp/amanda. It shouldn't be big, but if it is, 
then don't send it the list, just post it on the web or send it to me 
personally.
