It looks like it is trying to create the file in the pwd.

Are you logging in as root then doing an su amandauser?  I think that
would leave you in the root home and then the amandauser could not
create files there, or shouldn't be able to :-/.  Might try su from a
directory where amanda user can write to.

Hope this helps,
