What version amanda is your server?  This sounds like a bug that was
supposedly fixed somewhere along the 2.4.3xxx timeframe.  We ran into
something like this when developing our amanda AFS client, and the AFS
utilities were not so forgiving.  We hacked around it in order to get
going, but I remember John reporting he'd checked in a fix.
