No, I configure it with --prefix=/opt/amanda, so there is no posibility of 
file shuffling.

I've tried with 2.4.2p2, 2.4.3 stable, 2.4.3-20030104 and 2.5.0-20030104.
All produce the same amreport results.
Searching through the code of reporter.c I don't see any function
more complex than strcmp(), so what is different in my system? (I don't 
think strcmp can be somehow corrupt).

And what is funnier: I forgot changing the tape yesterday, so I have had to
run amflush, and the report DID get the results:

Subject: AMFLUSH MAIL REPORT FOR January 15, 2003

The dumps were flushed to tape PRMD-002.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

Why amreport invoked by amdump fails to collect the stats and 
invoked by amflush does not?
