Yes, thats no doubt one of the problems.  If you'll read the docs, 
they tell to to add a non-priviledged user and 'amanda' will do, and 
then make amanda a member of group disk(or other similarly high 
priority user).  Then you must build it as the user you added, but 
must then become root to do the make install.

If thats done, then all the perms magicly fall into place.
