Amanda generate a lot of debug files in /tmp/amanda, have you looked at them?

What's in the sendbackup.*.include and sendbackup.*.exclude? Post them.
Is it what you expect?
Also post the sendbackup.<timestamp>.debug and runtar.<timestamp>.debug files.

Hello.

An update. I changed to an older version of GNU tar, this time 1.13.94 (it was one of the closest in the 1.13 series they had at Sunfreeware.com; if worst comes to worse, I'll build a copy of it myself). Still no joy, though I'm using "include" with the following sequence in the stanzas I had before:

 include "./1??"

etc.

I've set up to use the "exclude" statement tonight.
