You didn't say if you were using dump, or tar.  Dump is filesystem 
specific, so if you are using a version for reiserfs, its not going 
to work with an ext3 partition.  But I don't think tar cares since 
its a file reader.  Dump has now bit the majority of us, so I use tar 
exclusively now for quite some time.

The other possibility is permissions, possibly from a broken amanda 
install?
