*Thank you* That explains a lot. I assumed they were using the same
access methods.

There was a very strong correlation between Amanda working on an old
RedHat, not working on a new Debian, default home directory permissions,
and mis-remembering how things used to work. Debian's permissions are a
lot more restrictive. The Input side is working now. Great thanks to
everyone.

Now, the Output. Does anyone have an idea why amdump's taper doesn't run
but amflush's does? (I *am* sure that used to work.) Do they do things
differently too?
