Ensure that the file is there. If it is, add "/usr/local/sbin/" to the path of the user that is running amdump (in your case "amandabackup"). If not, then maybe you didn't compiled client AND server (without any special configure options, client and server are build).

How do i do this?

Also- i used the download from this page:
http://www.zmanda.com/download-amanda.php
that is listed for Fedora7 backup server.

So, you installed an RPM?
You installed the "amanda-backup_server" RPM?
If yes, did that one install the program amdump in /usr/local/sbin ???
I was under the impression that that RPM installed it in /usr/sbin/amdump.

Or do you still need to be enlightened on RPM's and program paths as well?
Where do we need to start with the "Idiot Guide" :-) ?
"ls", "find", "rpm -ql", "./configure", "patch" ???
