I'm running this logged into user "amanda" directly.  The only time root was 
involved was at compile/install time.  User "amanda" has /usr/local/bin and 
/usr/local/sbin in path.  What specifically is it looking for?

Well, hang on -- I thought you were supposed to supply device nodes, not 
filesystem mount points.  All the examples were things like "sda1" which is 
the device node minus the "/dev" pathing.
