missing size line from sendbackup and PARTIAL

Hi,

Amanda-2.5.2p1 on both the server (Debian/Etch) and client (irix-6.5.x).

In a amreport this morning I got a DLE with:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  yorick  /data/nih/nih1  lev 0  FAILED [missing size line from sendbackup]
  yorick  /data/nih/nih1  lev 0  FAILED [missing size line from sendbackup]

Checking what 'adadmin info' tells me for it:

amadmin left2 info yorick /data/nih/nih1

Current info for yorick /data/nih/nih1:
  Stats: dump rates (kps), Full:  21651.2, 23245.9, 22401.7

Seems good but trying to restore the image to disk with amfetchdump
fails with:

amfetchdump -p left2 yorick /data/nih/nih1 20080108 | tar -xpGf -
...
amfetchdump: 34: restoring split dumpfile: date 20080108 host yorick

amfetchdump: Search of av24-2_left2_U00041L3 complete

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


Any ideas?
regards,
jf
