Perhaps some forgotten root cron (or 'at') job that was an attempt to run
monthly backups?  Amanda doesn't run itself, so perhaps you can look in
wherever your system cron logs are and track it down that way.  Probably
not a big issue since it failed, although you might want to run amcheck to
see that it didn't muck with your changer or mark a tape as used (since
its been my experience even a totally failed backup marks the current tape
as used).
