I'm getting dumps that are the same size regardless
of dump level.  Happening on all clients, all DLEs.
The file's timestamps (mtime and ctime) and inode nums
are not changing, which could cause them to appear in
incremental dumps.

I'm stumped, anyone experience this before?

Some other queries,

In my gnutar-lists directory, all the files are named
"xxx.new".  Looking at an abandoned installation on
another server, most of the files have the ".new"
stripped off.  How should the files appear?

On one of my Samba backups, the dump level has even
reached "4".  IIRC, amanda can only do full or incremental
of samba shares.  Is amanda just messing with me?
