I assume you mean you're doing this on the client, right?
Silly question, but are absolutely, 100%, positive /sbin/dump and
/sbin/restore exist **on that client**? I.e. do an "ls -l" of each?

Well, what Amanda is doing is an access() call on both programs. So one
thing to try would be:
su <amanda-user> -c "file /sbin/dump"
You might check the permissions on / and /sbin, too.
