Aha! Oh Dear... Rip it all out (as root so you can) and please
*read* the directions and/or the Top Ten FAQ. Amanda does not run as
root, ever. For security reasons, it does an suid when it needs to,
and only when it needs to.
Fix your scripts in /etc/xinetd.d too. I run amanda as the user
amanda, who is a member of the group disk on this linux box. The
group backup is also generally acceptable. The user amanda is
unpriviledged, uid around 507 on this box.
[snip the rest, it doesn't matter]
