For those that are interested and those that come across this in the archives, I would like to thank Alexander Leidinger very much. The patch he sent me seems to have solved the problem illustrated above. I ran several test dumps immediately after rebuilding /sbin/dump, and it was very promising in that no errors were reported. Prior to the patch, I was consistently able to generate an error within 3 attempts. Since then, Amanda has run and there were no reported issues with the run. Last night was the first entirely successful run in a long time. I pulled all of the dumps back from tape, restored them to a secondary location, and used "cmp" to compare them to the originals. The only differences found were the expected logfiles and other ephemeral data. In short, the patch seems to have completely solved my problem My thanks to M.
