I can't give you details, I don't use linux.
But that is a known situation on linux (or maybe just RH)
was due to a behavior change in the kernel so lots of
code started generating the message.  I think it is
of the warning variety, not fatal.  I think code that causes
it should be modified in future releases.  How they should be
modified I don't recall.  Is your's an older amanda release?
