/tmp/amanda exists, and is definitely writeable -- that's where I found the amanda log file.

But in the Application log, I found a bunch of inetd errors:
inetd : PID 2808 : amanda: can't set uid 18: Permission denied.

Amanada is supposed to be running as System, so it should be able to do anything, right? The inetd.conf line looks like this:

amanda dgram udp wait System /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad

Any ideas?
Check the event log - amandad writes error messages to the application event log.

Have you created the /tmp/amanda directory? It must exist and it must be writable by the user System.

If you created it using the cygwin prompt it will not be writable by the user System. So check the security with Win.

Bye!
