amcheck fussed about /etc/amandates until I touch'd, and chown'd the file, so 
that apparently wasn't moved just yet.  I just checked, and I didn't spec it.

I'll take it out for a spin in about 2 hours by removing the # in front of it 
in amanda's crontab.  That line:

50 0 * * *      /bin/nice       /GenesAmandaHelper-0.6/backup.sh Daily

Fresh Newsfilm tomorrow sometime. :)  I expect some failures because the 
backups might be bigger than the tapetype setting for /usr/pix and /usr/music 
when the level 0's are combined.  But if she's up to form, that will self 
heal in a dumpcycle cycle or 3.

Wish me luck & keep a couple bags of plasma handy. :)

I'm particularly interested in how it handles the niceness, I'm trying to 
teach tar some manners but it usually most resembles a hungry Poland China 
Sow at pig slopping time because the niceness isn't always inherited by the 
scripts children.  Yeah, I spent much of my preteen time on a farm in Iowa, 
and my first 25 years in that state.  60+ years later it still colors my 
speech occasionally. :)
