Backup Central

Hello,

I need a second or third set of eyes on this error.

I have a partition mounted as /export/rd01. under that mount I
have project called mltipath, with a subdirectory called jpals.

I just want to backup the subdirectory, using tar. The amanda
server is a remote machine that can access the client fine.

However, when I run an amcheck on my config, I get this error:

ERROR: <clientsys>: [could not access /export/rd01/mltipath/jpals
(/export/rd01/mltipath/jpals): Permission denied]
Client check: 5 hosts checked in 9.935 seconds, 1 problem found

However, if I change the disklist to backup the parent directory,
/export/rd01/mltipath, everything runs fine. The permissions on
the two directories are the same...

drwxrws--- 19 <user> mltipath 4096 Jun 4 13:39 \
/export/rd01/mltipath
drwxrws--- 19 <user> mltipath 4096 Jun 4 13:39 \
/export/rd01/mltipath/jpals/


So... what am I missing?

Lost the suid-root of runtar (in .../libexec/ )?

I guess when you backup the parent, that it skips the
subdirectory. Have you verified the contents of the supposedly
succeeded backup?
