What permissions does the AMANDA-user have on the problematic DLE?
Maybe the AMANDA-user is not allowed to traverse that DLE, make sure
that amanda belongs to a group allowed to do that. Also check the
permissions of the directory above the DLE.

You mentioned that this DLE is a mounted disk? Check the
mount-parameters for any options related to groups and users.

If you get "permission denied" you still have a permission-problem ;)
