In any case, I rebuilt uinsg FQDN's, and I still have these problems, An amcheck reports:

(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.0)

So there is a computer named "amanda".  Is it the correct one?
Is "ping amanda" pinging the good one?  There is no other computer
named "amanda"?
I assume that is the server itself, ok?
Are ALL the DLE's on that server wrong?  (I presume you have the root
fs also in the diskist, but that seems to be fine.)

In the debug dir /tmp/amanda, there should be file "selfcheck.datatime.debug".
Does that file contain indeed the error messages?


but:

amanda@amanda:~$ ls -l /opt/amanda/lib/gnutar_exclude_list
-rw-r--r--  1 amanda root 0 Mar 31 21:18 /opt/amanda/lib/gnutar_exclude_list

amanda@amanda:~$ ls -ld /dumpdisk
drwxr-xr-x  3 amanda operator 27 Apr 11 12:27 /dumpdisk

amanda@amanda:~$ ls -ld /data_backups
drwxrwxrwx  9 root root 232 Apr 12 02:01 /data_backups

It helps in diagnosing this problem to remeber that this part was working
_before_ I messed with /etc/hosts on the Amada machine.

I'm totaly confused at this point in time, what should I do to further
diagnose this problem?

Would you believe I'm confused too?
