I believe you have a problem with the filesystem that holds /var.
Is it full? Or is it corrupt? ...
Gnutar creates a file in the directory /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists
for its listed-incremental feature. And accessing that file somehow
triggers the errors "Invalid time stamp" and "Invalid inode number".
Maybe because /home is larger, and thus while backing up /home the
error occurs, while backing up /etc, the listed-incremental file is
much smaller, and does not trigger the error.
I would unmount it and run a filesystem check on it (for /var, that
means probably booting into single user mode).
