     [EINVAL]           The cmd argument is F_DUPFD and arg is negative or
                        greater than the maximum allowable number (see
                        getdtablesize(2)).

                        The argument cmd is F_GETLK, F_SETLK or F_SETLKW and
                        the data to which arg points is not valid.


And the amanda code to do the lock...

int
amflock(
    int         fd,
    char *      resource)
{
        int r;

#ifdef USE_POSIX_FCNTL
        (void)resource; /* Quiet unused paramater warning */
        lock.l_type = F_WRLCK;
        lock.l_whence = SEEK_SET;
        r = fcntl(fd, F_SETLKW, &lock);
#else

It's not immediatly obvious why this would cause EINVAL.

Out of curiosity, what is the output of 'df /var/log/amanda/dotProject'?
