You've apparently edited the amanda.conf as root (never do that, always 
become amanda to do that) and the perms are now fubar.  It should look 
something like this:

-rw-r--r--  1 amanda disk 22049 Apr 16 
08:59 /usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/amanda.conf

The user amanda should be a member of the group disk or backup. AFAIK, 
there is no group 'amanda', at least not here.

Is this a new install?

stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
