Steve,

Could you send me the amdump.1 log file?
What is at the beginning of the holdingdisk files? Could you send me one of the header?

Well, I lied.  amcheck worked OK, but amflush 2.5.1 refuses to flush
the dumps made with 2.5.1p2 on the holding disk, saying:

    amanda@dimanche:~$ amflush coolheads
    Scanning /nobackup/AMANDASPOOL...
      20061125001502: found Amanda directory.
    Could not find any valid dump image, check directory.

The directory has many dump files in it, and it looks OK.

Is there a trick I should know?
