i have a problem with setting up amanda but more of that later. i have the following configurations:

AMANDA_DBGDIR="/var/log/amanda"
CONFIG_DIR="/etc/amanda"

i have been looking in /var/log/amanda for clues to my problem to no avail. i have only just discovered log files in /etc/amanda/DailySet1/! e.g. log.20080711.0 and amdump.1

They may have a substring in the name having the letters "log", but
during the history of amanda, they are used for much more then
the initial purpose of logging only.
