Ahm, sorry, I don't quite follow you there. Your sendbackup.* files are empty, zero bytes? That shouldn't be the case already. (Don't get caught by the fact that they are readable only to your amanda user, and root!) And which files are the include files? Could you elaborate a little bit?

Yeah, zero bytes.

In fact /var/spool/imap is not readable by amanda. But it is absurd that amanda has to read every file in the system... (mode=600 files are unbackupable???) Or maybe amanda only needs to be able to read the base directory of the dump.
