Did it again tonight. On a different DLE that it says it successfully 
retried. And the saved amstatus is only 44 bytes, same as he previous 3 
failures.

'Using: /usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/amdump.1'

Where its normally over 10k bytes.  Nuked the leftover dump 
in /sdb/dumps, and reran the wrapper. And its like that sending this 
email will generate another file removed before we read it error.
