about 10 of them.

This 'runtar' invocation is for a different DLE --
/export_raid12/bicadmin1/amanda-rsync.  It's possible this is an error
in amanda or tar, but I would need to see a rundump, sendbackup, or
sendsize log that either includes the 'r', or includes the DLE without
the 'r' (in which case we can look to a bug in tar).  While I'm asking
for info -- what systems are these?

My suspicion remains with the automounter, and that it is for some
reason falling back to the 'r'-bearing fiename when the normal mount
fails.  If Amanda or tar were doing this, then it would not be
sporadic.
