That's just the thing, I'm not sure which log file(s) I should be
looking at, there's about a dozen.

-bash-3.2$ /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /data/amanda: 170326392 KB disk space available, using 170223992 KB
slot 3: read label `DailySet1-3', date `20080808135112'
cannot overwrite active tape DailySet1-3
slot 4: read label `DailySet1-4', date `20080729121011'
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet1-4 label ok
NOTE: host info dir /etc/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo/web3 does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/web3 does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
Server check took 0.259 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.164 seconds, 0 problems found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.2p1)

Here is, I think, the relevant log file from the client machine:
