Wow! It has found a problem on the client host (wich is phisically the server, 
btw). But, why this problem? What am I missing?

*** amtrmidx.debug ***
could not open index directory 
"/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index/localhost/_dev_md0/"amtrmidx: pid 4997

# The first missing subdir is localhost

There are lots of other debug files down there, I've checked only a few but 
the one above seems the only interesting one (along with the others from the 
same process).
