Hi,

I have the same problem since a few days (using Amanda snapshot 
2.5.1b1-20060623 with tar 1.15.91 to backup a single PC under Debian/Sid)

I get exactly the same message and it's the only strange thing I could find in 
the logs

I agree, but I don't know what this file should look like. I tried to delete 
all the tar lists and force a level 0 which didn't help (the level 0 is good 
but the level 1 estimate still fails)

yes

Maybe ; the 1.15.91 version introduced a new snapshot format and some other 
incompatible changes : 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2006-06/msg00001.html

But on the other hand, I also tried to manually copy the snapshot file and 
create a tar archive with the command line taken from 'runtar' and this 
worked fine. So it could be something to update in the way Amanda 
communicates with tar.

thanks for your help
