I can't confirm, as I haven't managed to run the /usr/local/sbin/amcheck as I 
didn't understand the parameters it was asking for:
amcheck: Usage: amcheck [-M <username>] [-mawsclt] <conf> [host [disk]* ]*

I can confirm that I am doing everything as amanda.

Kevin said:
amcheck is not setuid root on the source tree so it fails to bind a 
privileged port while perform host check.

I've made sure now that all the /usr/local/sbin/ executables are owned 
root:disk, and amcheck is setuid.  What else needs to be setuid?
