The whole world should convert to american english,
then we wouldn't have these problems :))

I suspect that changes in the crontab are ineffective because
of the server/client nature of amanda.  It is not amdump on
the server that starts the tar commands, but the children of
amandad started from the {x}inetd daemon.

Most systems have a way to set the default "LC" environment
variables (of which LANG is one) during boot, certainly before
the network and inet is started.  Perhaps this needs to be
set on your hosts.

Alternatively, and I don't know that this is allowed, in your
{x}inetd config where it specifies the amandad command, you
might be able to specify it like:

   LANG=XXX /pathto/amandad
