And I just looked at the emailed report, and the printout, and 
everything worked just fine last night.

I don't *think* it was a case of PEBKAC, but thats first time in many 
moons that its missfired since I went to virtual tapes on a big hard 
drive.  That yum update did not take place while amanda was running.

I suppose the next time it happens, I will have forgotten about 
waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Isn't there a Murphy's Law 
corollary about that?  :-)
