I am getting an error on one of my client boxes whenever Amanda tries to
back it up. Running amcheck returns the following error:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: <hostname was here>: [could not access /dev/vx/rdsk/var (/var):
Permission denied]
ERROR: <hostname was here>: [could not access /dev/vx/rdsk/rootvol (/):
Permission denied]
Client check: 4 hosts checked in 1.147 seconds, 2 problems found

I've verified that the Amanda user is a member of the sys group, (the
directories are owned by root:sys with rwxr-xr-x permissions). The
client is a SunFire280r running Solaris 8 and Veritas 3.5. Another
identically configured machine does not have a problem. What else can I
check?

Thanks
