I've attached the relevent sendbackup debug file but nothing
looks suspicious in it, at least to me. 
Both client and server are Debian/etch 64bit systems running 
2.6.21.5-i686-64-smp and 2.6.22.2-i686-64-smp respectively.

It happens on all the clients all the time and it's not sporadic at
all. I've also seen the same behaviour on a irix server/client. 
Gnutar is 1.14 on Debian and 1.13.25 on irix.

Looking further in the syslogs I can correlate 100% between the
automount failures and either sendbackup or sendsize starting.
