First off, what user are you running amandad as on the client?
In /etc/inetd.conf:
amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad
^^^^^^
Next, is this user in the amanda group to be able to run runtar,
it it possibly operator (Freebsd) or disk (linux), you could just
add amanda to the amanda group in /etc/group as you want amanda to
stay in the group that has read access to the disks (operator/disk)
/etc/group:
amanda:*:6:amanda (or something similar...)
As for gnutar-lists... *shrug*
check the permission to the directories under it, /usr/local/var/,
/usr/local/var/amanda. Also it is a bad idea to have write permission
to all other groups on the system, someone could be nasty!
