Hi
I am trying to backup 5 clients currently of which 2 does not want to
work for some reason.

The error I get is:
ERROR: rian-dlin: [could not access /home/oscar3/SciFi
(/home/oscar3/SciFi): Permission denied]
ERROR: rukh: [could not access /u/oscar3/dev (/u/oscar3/dev): Permission
denied]

The xinetd is configured correctly so that is not a problem.

You say so, but we can't check it.
Post the xinetd config for amanda and the result of "id" executed as user amanda.

When using dump, a frequent error is that primary group has no access to
the diskdevice.  Additional groups need to be enabled in xinetd by
the "groups = yes" directive.

When using gnutar, a frequent error is the lost suid-bits on
the runtar binary (by incorrect installation, or by executing it
from a NFS-share mounted without suid option).
