And that page says it needs tar 1.19.90 or newer.  F8 hasn't caught up with 
that one yet, probably never will.

Humm,  odd:
[root@coyote log]# man amgtar
No manual entry for amgtar

but
[root@coyote log]# ls -l /usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amgtar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda disk 8994 2008-09-27 
23:04 /usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amgtar

so it is from the newest 2.6.0p2.

Must be time I start following 2.6.1, any gotcha's?
