In order to work around the glob issue I removed the globs
from my disklist and replace them with entries for each
user directory.

We at least doubled the number fo entries to one particular
client, from around 50 to around 100.

We encounter a new problem, I don't know if this prevents
backups from occuring or not.

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: finsen: service selfcheck: selfcheck: error [open pipe to 
/usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amzfs-snapshot: Too many open files]
ERROR: finsen: service /usr/local/libexec/amanda/selfcheck failed: pid 12205 
exited with code 1
Client check: 21 hosts checked in 45.182 seconds.  2 problems found.

(brought to you by Amanda 2.6.1p1-20091023)


To work around this I think I'll eliminate snapshots and just
use user-tar... at least for the weekend.
