You have to put the amanda user on the remote system in the group that
has access to the device you want to back -up (for example group
"operator" on BSD or "disk" on redhat).
If the group you assigned to your amanda user with "configure" isn't the
operator's, than you have to choices: Reinstall amanda with the new
parameters, or change the permissions of the devices so that the group
you gave your amanda user can gain access to them (chgrp command). But
this may affect the system in some odd ways....
Or try playing with the different possibilities you may found... the
group file is /etc/group
