Of course. It's friday. I understood the error message about gtar
accessing the file itself, but the file *contains* time-stamps and
inode-numbers, and it's when reading and decoding the values, it notices
the file is corrupt (because older amanda versions copied the file line
by line, but now the format changed to some binary format, and the line
by line copy damages the file).

Still good advice, until that bug gets fixed too.
