I ran into the same problem.
What I think it is:
the installation on rh7.0 and 7.1 has a different
amanda-user voor handling amanda operation.
On one system it is amanda on the other it's operator.
I also tried to install rh7.1 amanda rpm on rh7.0 system.
Changing the permission of /etc/amandates changes the
behaviour, but I could never make it to work. Looks like
the package is incompatible.
Upgrading the rh7.0 system to rh7.1 is my last hope.

Henk
