Hi,
     I am still trying to get my first successful Amanda backup.  Now
when I run amcheck, I get an error 

"cannot read/write /usr/local/var/Amanda/gnutar-lists: No such file or
directory"

Indeed there is no such file or directory.  My gnutar-lists is located
in /var/lib/Amanda.  What shall I do?  I am also guessing that Amanda is
going to want read/write other files and folders in the non-extisting
directory.  Should I recompile Amanda with some option specifying the
default directory for that type files and folders?  Thanks in advance
for any advice.

Harry.
