Hi reinstalled amanda as Root make distclean 
As amanda ./configure --( My preferences)
As amanada make
As Root make install

Thus checked /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amcheck ls -al command the
output as below:

-rwsr-x---  1 root   disk  86322 Apr 18 16:03 amcheck

But when I run the following amcheck command

myserver:/local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin # su amanda -c
"/local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amcheck"
zsh: permission denied: /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amcheck
myservefr:/local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin #

Im going a bit crazy Now! as I assume the sticky bit would sort out the
permission issue.

Cheers

Chuck
