I've cleaned everything up the amanda instalation is if a dare say
virginal. I can't figure out where amcheck does get the info. No
amanda process is runing and I' doubled checked theres is absolutely
no file whatsover in /var/lib/amanda/test (indices or curinfo) and
/var/log/amanda is as empty as it could be. I chown'ed all the dirs
the amanda user is sole user
