Don't do that.  Why test in a setup that differs at all from the final 
one?  Run amanda as the amanda user.

This isn't your problem, but that won't work.  Amanda stays within a 
partition when doing backups.  You'll need one entry for each of those 
partitions.

To see your problem, we'll need to see /tmp/amanda/amanda*debug and 
/tmp/amanda/sendsize*debug from one of these attempts.

What does amcheck say?
