If amvault is unable to read the header from one dump, then rather than
continuing on to the rest, it stops the entire run, reporting "Problem reading
Amanda header: EOF". This means that a single error reading source data (in my
chg-disk case, a single zero-length file) will stop the amvault operation, even
if subsequent dumps or tapes are okay.
