Absolutely. Didn't this show up bright and bold in the failures section
of the Amanda E-mail?

Fix your system? :-)
Amanda is asking the OS (via the shmget() system call) for a chunk of
shared memory and it got back whatever errno maps to "Cannot allocate
memory" (maybe ENOMEM?).
One possibility is that you've been having various problems while
testing (which is normal) and there are stray shared memory segments
still laying around. Use "ipcs -m" (on the tape server) to look for
anything owned by your Amanda user and then "ipcrm" to delete them.
Or a reboot will accomplish the same thing.
If that doesn't help, I'd guess you have some kind of system configuration
problem (i.e. you have not enabled shared memory or built it into your
kernel). You'll have to talk to someone who knows about your particular
OS to get help with that.
