It reads

-rwxrwxrwx    1 amanda   disk        49951 May 23 04:34 amdump.7
drwxrwxrwx    4 amanda   disk          112 May  4 21:28 curinfo
drwxrwxrwx    4 amanda   disk          112 May  4 21:28 index
-rwxrwxrwx    1 amanda   disk         2668 May 17 01:58 log.20030517.0

for example.

That is *after* I chmod 777 the whole tree under /data/amanda. So all 
your posts were quite right, there was a problem reading and writing 
the index. My way was probably not the safest, but I'll start work my 
way back now to a safer setup. Unfortunately, I a) don't know what 
exactly changed and b) don't remember the original rights and 
owner_group settings. How should they be?

Thanks a lot for pointing me into the right direction!
