Yeas, but I thought we had worked out something that made amanda immune to 
those little annoyances?  Or was tar changed and the fix didn't work now?

[amanda@coyote GenesAmandaHelper-0.6]$ tar --version

Here is the amgtar stanza from amanda.conf:

define application-tool app_amgtar {
     comment "amgtar"
     plugin  "amgtar"
     #property "GNUTAR-PATH" "/path/to/gtar"
     #property "GNUTAR-LISTDIR" "/path/to/gnutar_list_dir"
     #default from gnutar_list_dir setting in amanda-client.conf
     #property "ONE-FILE-SYSTEM" "yes"  #use '--one-file-system' option
     #property "SPARSE" "yes"           #use '--sparse' option
     #property "ATIME-PRESERVE" "yes"   #use '--atime-preserve=system' option
     property "CHECK-DEVICE" "no"       #use '--no-check-device' if set to 
"no"
}
Do I need to set additional options?
