I've made sure now that all the /usr/local/sbin/ executables are owned
root:disk, and amcheck is setuid.  What else needs to be setuid?


Changed ownership to amanda:disk, but still seeing the same errors.


the installed amcheck should be used, not the one in the source tree.
The installed amcheck should have permission similar to the following:

ls -la /usr/local/sbin/amcheck
-rwsr-x---  1 root disk 63345 Apr  3 10:45 /usr/local/sbin/amcheck



Is there a firewall between the client and the server?
If so, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Firewalls_%26_NAT
