You're one day off on your backup line.  It should be:

5 2 * * 2-6 su amanda -c /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amdump DailySet1

As an aside, I usually put these commands in amanda's crontab with
'sudo -u amanda crontab -e', so then it'd be:

5 2 * * 2-6 /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amdump DailySet1

Again -- you're running your amcheck *after* the amdump...
