Original question: Why still getting permission denied, even though group
ownership is set...
Mitch
Solution: Permissions. (or what advice would you give to "THE Graduate" if it
took place today, rather than 40 years ago?"

^^^^^^^^^^
So ufsdump is running user=amanda/group=operator, and the device is *only*
readable by owner (root), so you get "Permission denied". Quite right.
% sudo chmod g+r /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0:d
Repeat as appropriate for the other devices.
