Your bug is also with:
chmod -R 6770 /home/amanda/libexec/* /home/amanda/sbin/*
Setting all binary to suid and sgid is a bad idea, especially since you set their owner to root.
With the owner set to amanda, it's not a good idea either.

You should only set suid and sgid on required binary with correct ownership.

run 'make install' as root, it will set all permission correctly.
