Eric, thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm running all of the am* (amlabel, etc.) as user amanda which is in the operator group. These files are all in /usr/local/sbin and have the following permissions:

        Are you running those commands as the amanda user?  None of
the amanda programs are setuid(amanda), so if you're not the amanda
user, or in the operator group yourself, they will fail.
