That all sounds terribly convoluted to me.  The best (IMO) way to build 
amanda is to:

1) Download, configure, and 'make' amanda all as a "normal" user -- not 
   the amanda user, and not root.  lzhong would be a good choice.  ;) And 
   do this all in, e.g., ~lzhong/src.

2) Run 'make install' as root.
