I trying to run Amanda-2.5.2p1 on an SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 system compiled with gcc-3.4.4

I've worked out the dependencies and syntax errors in the builds to get the binary files compiled.
My problem now is that the amcheck does not succeed due to misinterpretation of the amanda-client.conf file on the SCO client system.

I have the amanda-2.5.2p1 code compiled and configured between two Linux systems w/in our group.  The host system is a RedHat EL4 Update 6, the first client is a Fedora Core 9 running a localy compiled amanda-2.5.2p1.  These two systems work nicely together.

After I compiled and configured the SCO 5.0.4 system and ran the amcheck on the host (RHEL4) system, I get the output:

$ amcheck DailySet1
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
{this sections is resolved and is not part of the problem}

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------

"/usr/local/etc/aman

(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.2p1)
-sh-3.00$ 

The client system apd50.coop.com (SCO 5.0.4) shows the following when I try to run amcheck on that system.

amcheck DailySet1

The ~etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf file is as follows:

If I run the amgetconf DailySet1 conf   on the client system I get the following

$ amgetconf DailySet1 conf

$

The configure line that I used for the SCO build was:

configure --program-prefix= --bindir=/usr/local/bin \
--includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib/amanda \
--localstatedir=/var/lib --with-gnutar-listdir=/usr/local/bin/gtar  \
--with-user=amandabk --with-group=backup --with-tmpdir=/var/log/amanda \
--enable-shared --enable-static --enable-threads --without-ipv6

I've check all the files and directories and confirmed that all they are all owned and writable by amandabk w/ the few exceptions of the files that have SUID root.

Can anyone guide me to the area that would possible cause the files to be read wrong like this?

Thank you.
