Thanks! I actually just fixed it. There were many weird things about this
setup. I found it installed in different locations and different versions of
the source files. 

Yesterday I thought I completely uninstalled everything and found that the
reports said same thing this morning.

So what I did then was searched for every damn (excuse my French) Amanda
Makefile (locate amanda | grep Makefile | more) and CD'd to there and did a
make uninstall.

I found that a few actually took the uninstall. Once I did that I edited the
"inted" file to disable any amanda stuff, rebooted and found no more
messages or anything.

Then I was able to install the latest version (amanda-2.4.4.tar) with
user=amanda group=backup,

---------------
./configure --without-server --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup
make
make install
---------------

edited & restarted inetd. Still came up with an issue and what appears to
have fixed it was checking/setting the permissions for amanda as owner for
all relevant amanda directories. Mainly "/tmp/amanda" was owned by someone
other than amanda.

`amcheck` returns no errors now from the backup server!!! Here's the
selfcheck debug file on the client:
-----------------
/usr/local/libexec/selfcheck: version 2.4.4

Wooo-hooo!!! We should see no errors tomorrow morning!!!

I appreciate your help guys, and will definitely look into FreeBSD ports
installs Toomas for any future needs.

If the existing version was installed from FreeBSD ports, you can do
something like this to uninstall it:

pkg_delete amanda-client-2.4.3b2
pkg_delete amanda-server-2.4.3b2

Then update your ports tree (see the FreeBSD handbook for details)

And then...

cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda-client
make AMANDA_USER=amanda AMANDA_GROUP=backup install

I know everyone here recommends that you get the latest source tarball
and build Amanda yourself from that, but the FreeBSD ports have worked
really well for me, FWIW.
