When I ran amstatus to check on last nights run, I got a serries of the
follwing error messages:

:Use of uninitialized value in addition (+) at /opt/amanda/sbin/amstatus
line 1042.

Looking at that line of the script makes me suspect that the acumulation
that's going on here needs to have (if defined) protecting it. Does this
make sense?
