Those permissions (not just on amcheck, but on lots of the files)
are seriously broken. Amcheck should not be mode 777 and needs to be
setuid-root, as do some of the others.
I think the best thing for you to do is re-install the Amanda software
(you don't need to change your configuration stuff yet, just redo the
software). You did do the "make install" as root, didn't you?
