Do you still see the Note: regarding .../curinfo/.. and ../index/..
on the amcheck output?

I have run into situation, where dumps fail until I create that by hand.
Its actually not created in the next run. A bug is filed.

I just tried this on 2.5.0b2 and it gives no problem at all.
Does amanda have the permissions to create the directories, i.e. is the
parent of the curinfo and index writeable by amanda?

I did:
- Create a brand new config
- run amcheck (without output below)
- run amdump
and that completed successfully.
