On linux, possibly others, the syntax would have been "./amcheck" in 
order to tell the shell to look here rather than in one of the dirs

I'd guess that the best way is to add /usr/local/sbin to the $PATH 
that the user amanda gets when you are the user amanda.

Missed the dot-slash in front of the command to anchor it to the 
current directory you are cd'd to.  A common mistake :)
