If it was a permissions problem, the error code would have said
"permission denied" or something like that. This error says the file
has completely vanished. Although Denise can confirm that with "ls -l".
I don't know how it would happen, other than it for sure is not an Amanda
issue (Amanda knows almost nothing about /etc/dumpdates -- that's only
dump program file). The quick solution is to:
touch /etc/dumpdates
chmod 664 /etc/dumpdates
chown root /etc/dumpdates
chgrp <amanda-group> /etc/dumpdates
