#1 tar errors
I've made sure the exclude/include files do not contain
blank lines, but I'm getting some strange tar errors
right out of the box (but after config):
/bin/tar: cusa: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: 2.4.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: #2: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: Fri: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

I had the same problem. Here is what seems to get me around
the issue. YMMV.
The core issue seems to be around a line in yacdbak.config
that reads:
LABELPREFIX="`uname -a`-`date +%D-%X`"
The above line will produce something like:
Linux george 2.4.18-george-1.0 #2 Tue Mar 5 05:04:27 MST
2002 i686 unknown-03/08/02-04:23:56 PM
All on one line. Scripts downstream dont seem to like the
fact that this produces spaces. I changed it to:
LABELPREFIX="`uname -n`-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S%Z`"
Which produces something like:
george-20020308162531MST
No spaces, yet still somewhat unique. This seems to be
working better.
Good Luck.
