Re: virtual-tape directory error

Hello Joergen,

Thanks for your input.  It is good that you are using the same configuration on the two versions of 
Debian, it will help in troubleshooting.

I am looking into the problem, I think error happens on this line of sarab.sh...

CURRENT_ARCHIVE=$(echo $CURRENT_LINE | cut -f 1 -d" ")

I believe the errors we have seen with - and _ characters could be related to how the command "cut" 
reads the delimiter.  Sarge and Woody probably have two different versions of "cut".

I will keep looking.
