Hello,

The not-yet-applied pull request #78 addresses a lot of the incomplete
points in the Application/Script API documentation (and also fleshes out
the API itself so there is less implementation that every application
developer has to duplicate).

  https://github.com/zmanda/amanda/pull/78

The notes on that pull request should be helpful for more insight into
the issues involved.

If you are starting out to develop an application without the PR#78 code,
you may find very helpful the thread of -hackers messages that were
necessary while developing it, to pin down the precise meaning of a lot
of points in the current documentation. That thread is here:

  http://marc.info/?l=amanda-hackers&s=coding+an+Application+in+perl

You'll probably find in there the specific issue you ran into here, as
well as others that you might not have run into yet.
