amanda running on os x server 10.4.6 - just can't back up os x... (kinda)

I like these little ironies: I finished setting up my 5TB XRaid finally and decided that disk-to-disk backups should move to the server sharing that data - i.e. my G5 Xserve. I decided to slowly decommission my current Amanda server so that I could consolidate a bit. The irony of having Amanda run on OS X is that it really isn't the best server to use to backup other OS X systems because (as I wrote yesterday) OS X (as of 10.4.6) still doesn't have a working version of dump. So, while Amanda is humming away doing the job I wanted, it isn't helping any in the Mac department... I consider that an irony.
