I don't think it matters, but that's not how Amanda would create the
directory. Try removing the directory itself and running amcheck again.
Did the directory get recreated?

OK. Just checking one more thing off the list.
Here's the next thing to try (if the above doesn't help). Duplicate your
current inetd.conf line, comment out the original and change the duplicate
to something like this:
amanda dgram udp wait amanda /tmp/run-amandad amandad
Then in /tmp/run-amandad put this (fix the path to "truss"):
#!/bin/sh
exec > /tmp/run-amandad.out 2>&1
echo "Starting amandad: `date`"
/path/to/truss -f -w 2 /usr/local/libexec/amandad
status=$?
echo "Ending amandad: status: $status: `date`"
exit $status
Then chmod +x /tmp/run-amandad, send a HUP to inetd and try amcheck again.
The idea is to run amandad under truss to see all the system calls.
Hopefully one of them will show that the log files are going someplace
else, or that there is some other kind of error.
Obviously this is just for debugging and we'll put it back when the
problem is determined.
